Beacon Foundation
High Impact Work Readiness
On August 22-25 the Beacon Foundation present High Impact Work Readiness programs “PERFORM” to our VCAL Year 11 and 12 students. Over 100 VCAL students have learn the art of goal setting, networking, conflict resolution, interview & Resume preparation and elevator pitch. This program has been funded by The Apprenticeship Factory who see the importance of young people identifying their strengths and learning these skills. We cannot run these programs without the support of local business and community. Many thanks go to the following organisations:
