On May 12 and 13, 1999 ASTF ran a two day seminar for coordinators and others involved in Rural and remote structured workplace learning programs for young people at school. A report of the event is archived on the VECO Web site.

Purpose

Out of this meeting, the RRAVE-On National Network was established as a forum for practitioners specifically set up to:

• provide mutual support and mentoring
• act as a clearinghouse of ideas and initiatives, models and resources
• share stories of success and challenges overcome
• provide an advocacy and lobbying role towards achieving equity for rural and remote areas

How to Join In

Participation in the RRAVE-On National Network is designed to be as inclusive as possible. To this end, you may join the network in one of two ways: via an online email discussion list or periodic facsimiles.

Other networking activities and events may occur from time to time. The RRAVE-On list  will promote these as they occur.

Archives of RRAVE-On Discussion List

Archives of the RRAVE-On email discussion list are available and can be sorted by date, subject or sender.
