Future Leaders of Industry
The Future Leaders of Industry pillar ensures that young people in regional communities have access to the development opportunities they need to become leaders. This strengthens communities and businesses such as Alcoa, enabling them to employ skilled young people who are ready to add value.
Geelong Regional Vocational Education Council (GRVEC)
Alcoa Point Henry and the Geelong Regional Vocational Educational Council formed a partnership in 1999 to provide local students interested in the manufacturing industry with training, scholarship and work placement opportunities.
The Alcoa/GRVEC partnership supports the implementation of the Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) program in the Geelong region as well as the Alcoa Future Leaders of Industry Scholarships in Manufacturing program.
Structured Workplace Learning allows a student in Years 10, 11 or 12 to acquire skills and knowledge within an industry setting as part of their Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE)/Vocational Education and Training (VET) or Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL)/ VET studies.
More than 500 students participate in Structured Workplace Learning each year.
With support from the Geelong Manufacturing Council, Alcoa and GRVEC introduced the Alcoa Future Leaders of Industry Program in 2006. The Alcoa Future Leaders of Industry Program aims to encourage young people to consider a career path in manufacturing and to follow a study path that will make them eligible for job selection.
The program was also designed to raise the profile of manufacturing and engineering within our region and increase the awareness of career pathways and opportunities within the industry. Twenty-five scholarships are available as part of the program.
