Our strategic goals
• Stimulate and increase the capacity of healthcare organisations to support work related and work experience opportunities
• Enable wider, larger scale, sustained and coordinated access for potential participants, form all backgrounds and circumstances, seeking employment and/or a career in the health sector to gain work experience opportunities
