The Alfred secondary school work experience program

Our work experience program provides students with an opportunity to gain insight into the health care industry. 

The program is offered to students undertaking years 10-12. Students participating in the program are given an opportunity to spend one week working within available departments to observe and participate in the daily activities of those departments.
