GIANTS YOUTH EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM
Preparing youth for employment, an intensive 10 session program that provides skills to gain and employment.
Through a partnership with the GIANTS we will offer 100 students in Greater Western Sydney the opportunity to complete an 8-session course in job ready preparation. Each week students will explore topics such as:
- team building
- time management
- communication skills
- budgeting
- nutrition
- career planning
- interviewing
- resume development (cv)
It also includes two industry visits, one to the invested partner and one to the GIANTS Training and Admin building. This will provide a real-life job visitation experience and allow youth to make a connection with different industry opportunities.
This Program will allow youth aged 15-17 years to become ready and confident to engage further in employment.
