Your Role

Project Ready facilitators have the ability to bring a group of students together to form a safe group space where real personal growth can happen.

The aim of the facilitator is to guide, mentor and coach students through the Project Ready journey to the end where students have succeeded in developing the skills set out in the program.

Facilitators participate in Project Ready facilitator training and embody the principles described in the Project Ready facilitator position description.

Project Ready Relational Pedagogy

As a student-centred program, Project Ready is all about relationships, trust and mutual connections. It works!

The foundation of a successful Project Ready group is the establishment of trusting relationships between the facilitator, mentors and students. Facilitators delivering Project Ready must work towards building strong relationships with all students so they feel safe enough to learn, grow and develop.

The environment that is created in Project Ready is non-judgmental, non-authoritarian, non-punitive and safe.

For more information on the pedagogical approach of Project Ready, download the Project Ready Relational Pedagogy flyer.

“Project Ready embraces, extends and challenges young people. Project Ready is respectful of the needs of young people but also demands commitment and some hard work. Project Ready works for and with young people. An excellent program"

"Project Ready can be challenging and extremely rewarding. Witnessing the growth of young people as they find their way through self exploration and preparing for the work place is an absolute privilege. Project Ready has the flexibility to allow students to experience learning in a different way and explore pathways and options for their future. We always have a lot of fun while learning in Project Ready."

"Project Ready was an opportunity that I'm so privileged to be offered and the pride and sense of accomplishment I feel to be a part of this program and work with these students is something I am very thankful for. It's challenging, fun and incredibly inspiring to work with students from a range of backgrounds and experiences and see them grow in confidence and skills and feel comfortable and supported enough to share some of their most personal stories."

"As a facilitator, I've witnessed 'my' students mature and develop ideas and skills to put towards their future. I have helped then gain an important understanding about themselves and what makes them tick and I couldn't be more proud and thankful to be a part of something so special."

“I’m here because of you [facilitator]. If it wasn’t for Project Ready, I’d probably be expelled by now!”
