Hospitality Course
Cook up a storm, meet other young people and gain skills in the kitchen with our Hospitality Course. This course is the best way to kickstart your quest for employment, whether you aspire to be a chef, or a nurse, this course teaches you transferrable skills which look great on any CV.
Project Youth works in partnership with tertiary institutes to support young people aged 15-24 who face multiple complex barriers and long-term disengagement from education and employment.
These young people learn skills to work in the hospitality industry through our 8-week hospitality course. The course runs four times a year and provides hands on practical work experience at Café Y and training classes through the education provider.
The young people in the program also benefit from individual case management from Project Youth support staff who assist with transportation, food, clothing, medical appointments and support for justice issues to remove any barriers to achievement.
Not only do the young people gain work experience, and a qualification in hospitality but they also build strong friendships, develop social skills, gain confidence and self-esteem.
After graduation, Project Youth assists with the transition to further education opportunities, training and employment through the Labour Y program. Previous participants have gone on to become nurses, bartenders, butchers, and some have secured places at university to further their education.
In 2019, the program supported 66 young people to achieve a Certificate II in Hospitality. We can’t wait to see where the course takes them!
