THINGS No One Told You, The Y Ballarat\u2019s free collaborative life skills Program, will get underway next week.<\/p>\n
Youth impact facilitator Caitlin Clark said it\u2019s designed to equip young people aged 15 to 23, with important skills they will need throughout their life, but may not learn at school.<\/p>\n
\u201cY Ballarat\u2019s Youth Team conducted consults with young people around Ballarat and identified key areas where young people advised there was a gap in their skillset,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Areas of focus scheduled within the program already include job skills, resume writing and finance.<\/p>\n
The first of the job skills sessions will be running on Tuesday, 15 November from 4.30pm to 5.30pm in a fun and relaxed environment at The Y Ballarat which is based at Barkly Square, Ballarat East.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn collaboration with The Ballarat Neighbourhood Centre, we will be focusing on skills and preparation for a job interview,\u201d Ms Clark said.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, 22 November, the program will cover resume writing, and Wednesday 23 November will have a focus on financial information. Both will again be held from 4.30pm to 5.30pm at Barkly Square.<\/p>\n
