Project Ready

Project Ready is highly effective at helping students develop the job readiness and life skills necessary to successfully transition from secondary school to work or further education.

It’s a VET program that transforms lives and provides young people with a launching pad to achieve future goals.

Students participating in Project Ready undertake a community project, design thinking theory, teamwork, career planning, communication and diversity training, workplace health and safety, work placement, industry engagement activities, field trips, enterprise & entrepreneurial skills, wellbeing development and personal effectiveness. That’s seven units of competency and 215 nominal VET hours.

Project Ready was first developed in 2017 by Central Ranges Local Learning and Employment Network to re-engage students with their education and prepare them for the future worlds of work.

Since then, Project Ready has been redeveloped to meet the needs of a wider range of students. It is the ideal VET offering from the community services strand to enable schools to meet the requirements of the VCE Vocational Major.

Project Ready is also beneficial for students who have not yet developed the work readiness skills required to successfully transition into further education, training or the workforce.
