The Beyond Welcome pilot program is aimed at creating friendship and connections between Melbourne businesses and international students to provide insight and access to experience Australia's working culture.
The program is based on the successful Welcome Dinner program by Joining the Dots, but seeks to go “Beyond Welcome” by offering a series of events with Melbourne businesses while celebrating diversity.
How will it work?
The Future Focus Group are looking for up to 15 international students to participate in a pilot program. A Welcome Dinner event will be held to launch the program on 11 October 2014. This will be a facilitated event in partnership with Joining the Dots. Following the launch, 3 to 4 events are planned with Melbourne businesses hosting the international students. The first of these events is planned for November 2014 with additional events between February and May 2015.
Who are they?
The Future Focus Group team leading the Beyond Welcome pilot project includes a diverse group of professionals involved in the corporate, government, educational and not-for-profit sectors. The team is working in partnership with the City of Melbourne and in collaboration with Joining the Dots.
The Future Focus Group is the Committee for Melbourne’s two year business leadership program for emerging leaders.
