Jobfind help to steer L2P program into 15th year

GEELONG employment service Jobfind has sponsored a fleet vehicle to help deliver the 15th year of the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) L2P Program in Geelong.

The L2P program provides drivers aged 16 to 21 who have limited driving access, the opportunity to undertake supervised driving lessons with fully licensed volunteer mentors.

Learners also have the benefit of access to free driving lessons with a professional instructor to build their skills before embarking on supervised driving sessions with volunteer mentors.

A total of 186 learner drivers participated in the sessions in 2023, with 65 graduating from the program with their probationary license.

Jobfind regional manager Joe Abdo said their organisation was thrilled to be supporting the safe driving program.

“Jobfind understands the value of having a driver’s license as it opens up greater employment opportunities,” he said.

City of Greater Geelong mayor Trent Sullivan said he supported the program.

“The supervised driving sessions are instrumental in helping young people gain the necessary driving experience required for a probationary license,” he said.

“It is also a rewarding opportunity for volunteer mentors to connect with young people in their community and support them in becoming safe drivers.”

To be considered for the TAC L2P Program, both learner drivers and potential volunteer mentors are required to complete an application form and undergo an assessment.
