Jobs4U2
From the age of five until the age of 25, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and young people in the Goulburn Valley have access to Ganbina’s Programs across Education, Employment, Training and Life Skills.
We are here to help you unlock your full potential and fulfill your education, employment and training dreams – whatever they may be.
Jobs4U2 participants graduate with the desire, knowledge and skills to create fulfiling and finacially independent lives for themselves. Most importantly they go on to act as ‘Agents of Change’ within their own communites, inspiring and leading others to carve out a brighter future for themselves, their children and their children’s children.
This is a genuine ‘hand up’, rather than a ‘hand out’ approach, which is achieving lasting results.
This is the umbrella Program that involves a range of activities focussing on Education, Training and Personal Development, which are all essential building blocks for sustainable employment outcomes.
The specific aims of the programs are to:
- motivate young people to complete their schooling
- support young people to develop their career potential
- equip young people to become role models and leaders in their communities
The jobs4U2 program has major elements which are:
- Jobs Education
- Jobs Employment and Training
