The Burdekin PCYC has welcomed their new intake of students for their Get Set for Work 10-week program which commenced on Monday 8 July.
The program allows its students to engage with accredited training in the Certificate II in Skills for Work and Vocational Pathways, resume writing, cover letter preparation, online First Aid training, team building activities and visiting local history sites and businesses around the district.
A successful start, last week saw the students undertake online training through TEAMS meetings with the Aurora Training Institute. The group also travelled to Charlies Hill to learn a history of the World War II site and paid a visit to Wunjunga to gain knowledge on the region’s unique eco system and environment.
These educational activities will continue over the coming weeks, and the students will also complete job applications as part of the program.
All the students have shown great initiative through beginning the program, and are working towards employment opportunities in their chosen fields, or to simply get a start by building confidence, and skills for their working journey.
The students engaged with online training with the Aurora Training Institute.
An educational adventure, the students travelled to Wunjunga last week for the Burdekin PCYC’s Get Set for Work Program.
