"Six Tasmanian high schools and colleges have received grants worth more than $40,000 for innovative projects designed to help students further their education and training.
The Minister for Education, David Bartlett, said that the recipients received the funding under the Innovative Transition Grants program - a key initiative of the Southern Tasmanian Area Taskforce which has been officially launched. “The Area Taskforce, which began operating this year under the auspices of the Southern Tasmania Council Authority, supports regional stakeholders in helping young people to make a smooth transition from school to further education, training or work."
