Beacon Work Readiness

'POLISH'

On Wednesday 3rd May twenty EAL students from years 9-12 attended the Beacon Program Work Readiness “POLISH”

The program  is designed to prepare and motivate students for a successful transition from education to meaningful employment, through the development of employability and social skills that employers are looking for.

This professionally facilitated program has high involvement from employers, and builds basic life skills ranging from personal hygiene, through to dress codes and behaviour at an interview in the workplace.

Throughout the Prepare, Polish and Perform series of programs students hear business representatives’ unique stories of success, providing the encouragement and motivation to recognise their own potential.

Students put everything they learn into practice over a networking lunch .

Many thanks to VLINE for sponsoring the event and providing staff to attend our networking lunch and Phil Priestly Gouge Dry cleaning for supporting our students.
