As a part of CheckUP’s Youth Industry Partnerships for Education and Employment (YIPEE) program, seven students from Heatley Collage completed work experience at St. Vincent’s Aged Care in Douglas, Townsville.
After completing their work experience, the students were extended offers of employment at the facility.
St. Vincent’s Aged Care arranged a celebratory event to introduce the students to their forthcoming roles and the residents they will be assisting. The students engaged with the residents, fostering a sense of community and inclusion, for both the students in their upcoming roles and the residents they will be assisting.
It is great to be able to collaborate with organisations like St. Vincent’s Aged Care Douglas, who are committed to providing a culturally safe and supportive environment for students.
