Training Program
We deliver hands on hospitality training, workplace readiness, and individualised wrap around support to people facing barriers to employment, with a focus on people with disability, neurodivergence, and mental health concerns.
Our training is delivered at our social enterprise café which means our participants can build skills in a real workplace environment in either our Café Customer Service Training Program or Kitchen Training Program. We provide our training services to people with NDIS plans and without. Please indicate on your expression of interest form which stream you are applying for.
