A group of 40 university students and graduates from Sydney are to visit Dubbo, Gilgandra and Moree from 3 – 5 July to talk to local high school students and their parents and teachers about career choices and job prospects. The Big Lift Career Information Evenings are free events and are an excellent opportunity for students to hear directly from other young adults about the diversity of career paths, university study and how to get industry experience before committing to specific studies.

Seven students from across Australia have won a national competition hosted on the video sharing website, YouTube. Sponsored by the ACS Foundation, the competition asked IT students around Australia to create a short video about “What information technology means to them”.
