Help your schools get VCE-VM ready with a fun and engaging VET solution. Project Ready is an evidence-based work readiness and personal development program incorporating VET Certificate II in Active Volunteering. It includes two SWL placements per participating student.

First delivered in 2017 to assist potential early school leavers become re-engaged in their education, it has since been redeveloped to meet the needs of a wider range of students such as those who undertaking the VCE Vocational Major or need to develop the work readiness skills required to successfully transition into further training or the workforce.

Project Ready is available as a full-year VET program mapped against Certificate II in Active Volunteering. The program is auspiced by AAG and delivered by a TAE-qualified trainer, known as the Project Ready facilitator.

"I got a push to strive towards my passion, and focus on the good
in life instead of the bad"

"Great teacher. Really good work. And it's nice to be around people you wouldn't normally hang out with."

"Project Ready is good. It gets me out of school and it's fun activities...a fun way of learning."

"The biggest thing I got out of Project Ready is bonding with my fellow classmates, and learning about the different opportunities in the work force."

"It's given me a better idea of what I want to do next year"

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