Tuesday just got a whole lot better for some students, with the next round of the Passport 2 Employment program set to take flight from this week.
The program sees select Year 11 and 12 students from local schools participating in the nine-week program designed to prepare them for entering the workforce.
City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Shane Van Styn was happy to see the program back on the radar.
“Passport 2 Employment is a brilliant way to equip students for their journey into employment,” he said.
“The program offers students exposure to new and exciting fields, while also teaching practical skills such as resume writing and interview preparation.
“It’s a well-rounded curriculum hosted by professionals and I’m excited to see where it takes this crop of kids.”
The program is offered to students who have been identified as benefitting from extra education and support as they prepare to graduate from high school.
Sessions include onsite visits to various locations throughout the City, as well as activities designed to improve confidence and wellbeing.
The program is a collaborative effort involving Forrest Personnel, Central Regional TAFE, Mid West Ports Authority and the City of Greater Geraldton.
