| STUDENTWORKS: Critical success factors |
Authenticity. Students do real work in a real factory producing items which sell in a competitive marketplace.
Multi-skilling and work readiness are the goals: the eye is always on the job.
Students learn to take risks in a highly organised, controlled and supportive environment.
Enrolment is voluntary, but subsequent attendance and commitment are mandatory.
Management and staff share explicit values which they pass on to
students: self management, responsibility, inclusiveness, kindness and
respect.
Management and supporters are passionate about the organisation, the students and the Studentworks method.
There are strong links with employers and a strong support base in the community.
There is a solid, united management team with an unusually low staff
turnover. (Two coordinators and two workshop managers in 27 years.)
