Our Businesses for Hands-On Training
What They Can Learn in our School Leaver Employment Support Program
Food Preparation and Handling
Our Certificate III in Hospitality course will teach your child everything they need to know about food and beverage prep, safety, and service. They can then put those skills to the test in our canteen or at Knight & Georgie.
Customer Service
Our Certificates III in Retail and Hospitality are a great way to build customer service skills to work in stores, cafes, and restaurants. Your child will also work and have fun with other kids with intellectual disabilities, refining their social skills.
Design and Presentation
Employment at Specially Made, IDF Print, and Hamper Co offer the opportunity to design beautiful products and packaging. They will also learn how to present them on retail shelves and in giftboxes to impress customers.
All Things Gardening
Patience, care, and persistence are all gardening essentials. Your child will learn to plant, grow, and care for all sorts of plants, from succulents to tomatoes. Retail skills, safe handling, and deliveries are also on the menu!
Introduction to the Digital Work World
Video editing, building an audience, and managing ecommerce stock are just some of the skills your child could learn at Game On and our ecommerce brands. As work gets more digital, these skills are becoming crucial for success.
Organisation and Leadership
Every one of our companies offers the chance to lead small teams, with Game On also having a path toward event management. Your child can build on their interpersonal, leadership, and organisation skills.
