In September 2011, Dare to Lead joined other partners with DEEWR to facilitate the Learn Earn Legend Parliament House Work Experience event in Canberra. Of the 100+ Year 11/12 students from across the country who attended, more than half of these were sourced by Dare to Lead (and most of the other students are also from schools who are Dare to Lead Coalition members, too). The students spent time at Parliament House , Canberra, working alongside Ministers and MPs; later in their week, they worked in a government agency, all of this to gain insights into the opportunities of working in government. 
This is the second year that the program has run and plans are already being considered for 2012.
