Pathway to Job Readiness program.

In response to a lack of workplace skills and experience being key factors faced by young people experiencing unemployment, Volunteering Minister Mick Murray last week announced that the State Government will provide funding of $440,000 to Volunteering WA over three years, to deliver the Volunteering: A Pathway to Job Readiness program.
The funding will enable Volunteering WA to develop and deliver face-to-face training, materials, and online tools for the program.
The program will help address this by supporting young people aged between 15 and 24 years to engage in volunteering to build the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to become workplace ready. The Volunteering: A Pathway to Job Readiness program will also support volunteer involving organisations to attract, engage and support young people to volunteer, while helping them to develop the skills and experience to improve their job readiness and employability.
