Celebrating 20 years of service to the Community in 2011.

COMPACT is a regional Not for Profit community organisation servicing the Central Murrumbidgee - Wagga Wagga region. We were founded in 1991 as a direct response to industry, school and community needs. COMPACT delivers the School Business Community Partnership Broker program funded by DEEWR which aims to assist young people to realise their full social and economic potential by improving their education and employment outcomes by developing partnerships with business and industry, schools, community organisations and education providers. The Structured Workplace Learning Program funded by NSW DEC provides workplace opportunities for HSC students studying industry accredited Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses.
