Get Set For Work (G.S.F.W.)

When you have read about this program, make sure you visit the GSFW website for lots' of pics about the current program, and to read important information on GSFW.

What is G.S.F.W.?

Under the new Government laws, young students at High School are unable to leave school until they are either 17, completed grade 12, have a full time job or have comitted to further education that will assist them in gaining full time employment. This has created a need for GSFW programs that can assist young people to prepare themselves for work.

The Beenleigh PCYC has commenced an ongoing 10 week training program that has been offered to a maximum of ten young people at a time that are genuinely interested in improving their skills which in turn increases their chances of gaining employment.

About the program:

The PCYC GSFW program has been styled so as to introduce the participants to "The Real World" with a carefully prepared training program. The areas of participant development that we structure into our activities are:

• Personal Development
