Parents

Project Ready is a hands-on life and work readiness program designed to help young people get ready for the world of work. Achieving a formal qualification and TWO credits towards VCE, Project Ready is a smart choice.

If your child could use some extra help choosing their career path, building self-confidence and gaining skills to successfully transition into the workforce or further training, Project Ready is for them!

Project Ready is run by a facilitator with experience in youth programs and group work. Their job is to make Project Ready interactive, fun, engaging and inspiring.

"Project Ready is such a great project as it gives the kids a different avenue to pursue rather than the normal school week, with the normal classes. It keeps the kids engaged and it breaks up their week. Jane assists with communicating to the career advisors on behalf of the kids as she listens and understands their future goals."
