Grants supporting Victorian secondary school students to reach their full potential.
Future Ready funds a range of activities for secondary school students, including but not limited to:
- mentoring, supporting students to understand and reach their potential
- recognised training, work-placement or volunteering
- leadership opportunities
- hands on learning and development opportunities.
Future Ready 2027–2028 offers two-year funding for government secondary schools and not-for-profit community organisations or social enterprises (in partnership with government secondary schools).
Future Ready is aligned to three priority areas:
- Young people achieve their goals through education, training, volunteering or employment.
- Young people are respected and involved in decision making.
- Young people are confident and strong in their identity and connection.
Funded activities will take place over the 2027 and 2028 school calendar years (from the start of Term 1, 2027 to the end of Term 4, 2028).
