Eligibility
To be eligible, you must be in year 10 and be participating in a school sponsored work experience program.
Questacon is a popular location for work experience and not everyone will get a placement. If you are in years 11 or 12, you may want to consider participating in our Student Training Program. Nominations for this program come through your school, so talk to your career’s advisor for more information.
