Hobart friends! If anyone knows of a place that might be able to offer my kiddo a couple of days work experience later in the year please let me know 🙏🏻❤️

Hobart friends! A small favour to ask.
Tom is currently in Grade 11 at Hobart College and has been trying to organise a work experience placement through college, without much luck so far. So I thought I'd cast the net a little wider...
He's hoping to spend anywhere from 2-5 days with a media organisation or communications team, either during the October school holidays or in mid-to-late November, once his end-of-year exams are finished.

He's a keen photographer and is planning to study Media and Communications at UTAS after Grade 12, so he'd love the chance to see what working in the industry actually looks like - whether that's journalism, photography, content, social media, marketing, communications or some combination of the above.
He is reliable, hardworking, polite and organised (l know I'm his mum, but I promise I'm not making that bit up).

He's previously volunteered with organisations including Sea Shepherd and the Maritime Museum Tasmania, completed a two-day work experience placement at Hobart Airport last year, and spent two years working towards his pilot's licence - including completing two solo flights - although that is currently on hold due to the closure of Par Avion.
He also has his own photography website, with some genuinely lovely testimonials from people less biased than me...
If you work somewhere that might be able to offer him a few days of work experience - or know someone who does - I'd be so grateful for any leads. Please drop me a message :)

I might have a good option, depending on the timing. Perhaps a quick phone call later in the week?
