Secondary School Work Experience Program 2010

The Western Health School Work Experience Program provides students with an opportunity to gain an insight into the healthcare industry. This program is co-ordinated by Human Resources at Western Hospital.

The program is only available to students undertaking Year 10. Students participating in the program are given the opportunity to spend five days working in various departments/wards within Western or Sunshine Hospitals to observe and participate in that work areas' daily functions.
