To provide Victoria University students with hands-on experience and a unique study opportunity• To give exposure to our students in a competitive event ...... halfway through the paper ...... presented, a list of students who have applied and then interviews will be held to determine the most suitable candidates. Students identified as benefiting most from the learning abroad experience should be considered; for example, students who are more disadvantaged and less likely to travel abroad for a similar experience on their own. As many students from disadvantaged backgrounds tend to lack the confidence to apply for opportunities, the program will be advertised widely to all students undertaking this course of study. Disadvantaged young people must be empowered to overcome the conditions that have deprived them. The use of a systematic student mentoring/ambassador program from previous tours can be established to support student aspirations and give disadvantaged young people access to role models.
