Golden Plains Shire Council is inviting young people in our community to participate in the Youth Pathways Survey to identify the job support and training that will best support them to build capacity, learn professional skills and equip them for the future.
The Youth Pathways Survey is designed for local young people aged 14 to 25 and aims to identify the skills and learning opportunities for young people that will provide pathways to employment, encourage active community involvement, or support small business start-up opportunities.
Council’s Youth Development team is delivering a range of activities and projects that meet the individual goals and aspirations of young people in Golden Plains, in suitable locations that are accessible to them. The team is also committed to providing young people with a range of opportunities to support their pathways to employment and training.
Mayor Cr Brett Cunningham encouraged young people in Golden Plains to complete the Youth Pathways Survey to identify what courses they would like to see made available.
Whether it be a casual job, full-time employment, apprenticeship or volunteering, building the skills and accessing the support to enter the workforce can be a challenge for young people in regional areas.
The Youth Pathways Survey is a great opportunity for local young people to have their say on the programs and training that they would like to participate in to support them to enter the workforce.
Council is committed to providing opportunities for young people to build capacity and learn professional skills that better equip them for the future.
The Youth Pathways Survey is open from Tuesday 14 February until Monday 27 March, 2023 and can be completed online at goldenplains.vic.com.au/consultations. Printed copies of the survey are available at Council’s Customer Hubs, Golden Plains Civic Centre, 2 Pope Street, Bannockburn and The Well, 19 Heales Street, Smythesdale.
