Internship style career pathway: a council program

The problem. Newcomers find it hard to get a first local work experience. Who it helps. A council or library team hosting it, helping migrants and newcomers restarting their careers in Australia. What you start with. A student's skills and a host organisation. What is delivered. A short placement is planned with a supervisor and clear goals. A community officer hosts it with local partners and follows progress. How progress is known. Placement hours and skills practised are recorded. A short summary is shared with the council, with names and personal details left out. Main purpose. The main purpose is a pathway to work, training or a first venture for the people taking part. Honest limits. Placement rules and insurance must be checked. Ownership of your idea stays with you, and no job, funding or contract is promised. Track record. This is a new idea built on work Deals Colony has already documented. It has not been run yet. Start with a free Initial Assessment for Your Idea.
