Centacare Employment and Training was last month nominated for the Partnership Award (Metropolitan) by Gosnells Police and Community Youth Centre (PCYC) and received a Certificate of High Recognition.
Held at the organisation’s Awards Night on Friday 21 July, the nomination for the Partnership Award recognised effective working partnerships between WA PCYC and organisations over the 2016/17 financial year.
Centacare was nominated for its partnership in delivering ‘Project Stepping Stones’, a certified numeracy and literacy program for Year 11 and 12 students who are disengaged from mainstream education.
Centacare assisted Gosnells PCYC by providing ‘Registered Training Organisation’ (RTO) status for the program, supplying resources required for certification and qualified teachers to deliver the program.
‘Project Stepping Stones’ provides students with competencies towards their Certificate in General Education for Adults and has been designed specifically to assist young people, by providing a positive and productive pathway for them to transition in the future.
The program caters for many needs and can provide students with the tools required to transition back into formal education, training or employment in the future.
