The Careers and Transitions Support Program (CTS) aims to assist young people to develop Individual Transitions Plans and help them to understand study and work options available to them.
The Adopt a School Program (ASP) will bring schools and industry together so that students are better prepared for the world of work and so that they understand employers expectations of them.

Peninsula Education Precinct

A number of educational providers and networks (Monash University, Chisholm TAFE, Department of Education and Training, Frankston and Mornington Peninsula LLEN, Frankston City Council, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, Telstra Country Wide and schools) have joined together to develop the Peninsula Educational Precinct, which aims to provide enhanced educational opportunities for students in the southern and south eastern suburbs of Melbourne, the Frankston region and the Mornington Peninsula. The precinct explores new and exciting ways of establishing links between secondary schools, TAFE and university.  Pricinct partners retain their own educational identity and focus, but collaborate closely with each other to break down institutional and sectoral barriers. Some of the initiatives undertaken are:

  • VCE Revision Program
  • A High Achievers Program
  • Development of pathways between Chisholm TAFE and Monash University
  • Library Forum
