Aim

Have access to a network of young people who are passionate about working in the Aged Services Sector who embrace the opportunity to have an active role in inspiring younger people to work in our Sector.

Why?

The ‘Network’ provides an opportunity for the Sector to capitalise/value from the input from younger members of our workforce who are passionate about their job role and working with older people.

By 2020, the millennials (those born between 1980 and 2000) will be the largest component of Tasmania’s  workforce.  Their characteristics, career aspirations, and behaviours are different to prior generations.   Who better to inform both employers and potential employees about the benefits of working in the sector then the young people we already have.
