Youth programs news

We’re kicking off the year by celebrating one of our graduates, Catherine, who has just completed six months of employment as a barista in one of our STREAT cafes, through our Paid To Work Program.

This week we’re celebrating another graduate of our Fast Track to work program, Josie, who has just completed 9-months of employment with our partner organisation, Leonda by the Yarra. We asked Josie what it was like.

Today we’re celebrating the success of Rebecca, a graduate of our Ready To Work (now known as Fast-Track To Work) program at STREAT.

Join us as Rebecca shares her STREAT Youth Programs journey with us! Rebecca started in August 2021, and still recalls how she felt from day one.

We’re proud to share Jack’s story. He joined STREAT Youth Programs in 2021. After graduating from Ready To Work, he moved straight into our Paid To Work program and started in paid employment at Nando’s for nine months.

Find out more about how we work with Fonda and STREAT graduates, and why Caitlin told us: “Working at Fonda has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.”

Recent graduate, Ethan, tells us about his time at STREAT and employment in a chef apprenticeship with one of our partner employers. Ethan walked through our doors in 2021 with a clear objective in mind, he wanted to acquire the relevant skills to become a Chef.
