This paper follows the steps taken by a group involved in the Australian Student Training Foundation program, Tablelands School, Industry Links.

Our Vision is to grow as a community owned partnership that is nationally recognised as a centre of excellence.

Our Purpose is to provide students with quality vocational workplace learning pathways to meaningful work

The group has representation from State High Schools and one private school, employer groups, training providers, principals, local government parents and vocational education teachers.

With the need to become self sustaining we have gone through a comprehensive consultation to encourage ownership of the program by all customers ie. students, industry, employers, schools, training providers and parents.

The Australian Student Training Foundation is asking these groups to extend their focus to rural and remote communities, aboriginal and islander groups and students with learning difficulties. We as a group are dealing with these issues and are exploring different avenues to improve the outcomes for these groups.

This paper would show the methods that we worked through and intended outcomes of the project. If there was interest in the method, a workshop on this process could be presented.
