✨ This week at our Confident Connections Program ✨
The girls from Oakey SHS are powering through our modules! This week, we focused on job applications and interview skills. 💼✨ They did mock job applications and mock interviews, gaining practical knowledge on how to apply for jobs and prepare for interviews. We also covered how to find suitable jobs and explored the best platforms to use. 🌟
A huge thank you to our partners, Golden West Apprenticeships, for providing the resources that have made this program a success!
| SWIN's Confident Connections program is designed to equip school-aged students who are nearing the end of their high school years with the essential skills and knowledge needed to successfully transition into the workforce or pursue further education. In collaboration with Golden West Apprenticeships, we provide a comprehensive, hands-on course that covers everything from building effective resumes to exploring apprenticeship opportunities and preparing for tertiary education.|
Today marks Poppie’s last day with us at SWIN as Toowoomba’s Safety and Wellbeing Coordinator. Over her time here, Poppie has been dedicated to delivering meaningful programs and promoting physical recreation, especially for our young Indigenous mob. Your passion and commitment to the community have left an undeniable mark, and we’ve been lucky to have you on the team.
Poppie, we’ll miss seeing you around, but we’re excited to see what the future holds for you. Best of luck on your new adventure—here’s to bigger and better things ahead!
Wishing you all the best from your SWIN family ❤️💛
