AHEAD Program

The Addressing Higher Educational Access Disadvantage (AHEAD) Program aims to increase student aspiration for higher education by offering university pathway information and support.

Since 2014, AHEAD has delivered a range of educational initiatives to Year 8-12 students interested in an academic pathway. PKUC delivers the program to schools across the Pilbara and Kimberley regions.

AHEAD activities focus on building students confidence in their abilities, identifying post-school pathways, practising study skills and understanding the variety of pathways into Australia universities.
