The team at Holden is again offering mentors to primary schools with a human powered vehicle entry in this year’s RACV Energy Breakthrough.
The Program is an incredible opportunity for schools to develop a mentorship with an industry leader and will greatly help teams prepare for the event, particularly the Design & Construction and Display & Presentation components.
How does it work?
After the application process closes, each school’s place will be confirmed in the program with the Team Manager.
The Program commences on with a briefing for Holden mentors and school representatives at Holden’s Port Melbourne headquarters.
(Please note: this is an essential component of the program.)
Holden mentors then communicate regularly with their school, providing guidance and industry expertise throughout the year. Your Holden mentor will also make at least one visit to your school as part of the Program.
But why would my school need a Holden mentor?
