PaTH EST

We believe young people should be the drivers of their own future. When working with you, we use Action Based Learning approaches which involve helping you to be in the driver’s seat of your personal action plan and success.

We deliver the PaTH Program across the Ipswich and West Moreton region as well as online & distance learning where required.

The PaTH program comprises two blocks:

Training Block 1 – focuses on pre-employment skills and prepares you to meet the employer’s needs. It enables you to demonstrate that you have the attitude and approach to work that employers want.

Training Block 2 – you will be given intensive exposure to job search activities. You will use our Employability Program which is designed to build practical employability skills to help you gain and maintain employment.

Through both blocks you will develop:

Career and goal setting skills
Teamwork capacities
Motivation and confidence; personal presentation; communication skills
Resume, job search and application skills
Interview preparation and practice
Awareness of your strengths and weaknesses, learning preferences and personal communication style
Understanding of the local job market and how to negotiate it
Awareness of employer expectations and the employability skills required to succeed at work
Improved local industry knowledge in targeted job areas
Refined job search skills
