Alumni Volunteers Help High School Students in Sydney's West
UWS Alumni spoke and volunteered at the inaugural Year 12 Fast Forward Conference, which brought together around 200 Year 12 students from 15 schools.
The UWS Fast Forward program sees the university partnering with high schools in Sydney's Greater West to increase higher education participation rates and inform students about study and career pathways beyond Year 12. It offers regular group events and activities for students in Years 9-12.
Jim Micsko, UWS Fast Forward Program manager, said the Conference was designed to be a wrap-up for the program's participants as well as ensuring they had all of the necessary information at their fingertips to make a well-informed decision about their futures.
