VCAL News

Here is just a snapshot of recent good news from our VCAL program. Although COVID-19 has halted a lot of our lives and work opportunities there are some hidden gem stories with our VCAL students. 

A huge thank you goes to Andrew and Sue-Anne in MIPs for making these opportunities and positive destinations possible.

Jake Drever: Completed a "super impressive" trial and was offered a full time Landscaping apprenticeship with Ballarat Groundworks to start immediately. 

Tim Wrigley: Trialed and offered an Apprenticeship as a Mechanic with Bedggoods Auto Group. As you could imagine he is stoked!
