Cherida Longley | Manger Education Program
Rail Projects Victoria

Having started her career as a teacher and then worked in marketing and communications for many years, Cherida brings a unique skill set to bear on establishing new benchmarks for the way major infrastructure initiatives engage with young people. More than 8000 students have participated in careers and STEM workshops at the award-winning Metro Tunnel HQ visitor centre in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD and the Metro Tunnel’s Minecraft collaboration with the Victorian Department of Education and Training created the first ‘virtual city’ built as an educational resource for students. Young people have a bigger stake than anyone in our state’s future transport system and Cherida is passionate about showing them what our ‘Big Builds’ mean to them as future citizens and workers.
