Do you know a young person or a jobseeker who loves coffee and cooking?
Thanks to the generosity of David and Alison, Timbertown’s “Maul & Wedge” will host a special Hospitality & Café Skills program for young people who’ve finished school and would like to gain skills for work while having loads of fun.
Participants in this program will plan an event to be held in the final week of the program which will see invited guests enjoy a train ride before being treated to a gourmet Café experience courtesy of the students.
For jobseekers, Port Community College are holding a Housekeeping skills training program with on-the-job training for accredited units of competency. Rob Hamilton at the Wauchope Resort & Motel has kindly agreed to host this course just in time for the high tourist season.
People with intellectual disability will be able to take part in the LifeSkills Express program running in the mornings at Wauchope Library with Storytelling, and at the Uniting Church Hall in the afternoons, with Communication Skills.
