About the workshops:
The Pathways to Independence workshop is a one day workshop designed to
teach participants how to fill out a TILA application, what help is
available to assist them with bond, how to navigate Centrelink, how to
buy the right things at the right price at the right time, the price you
really pay for the privilege of a credit card, how to best manage your
mobile bill, what to look out for when buying a car, and the difference
between rational and emotional purchasing.
The Think outside the Square workshop is a one day workshop designed to
challenge participant's views to learning, and expectations and beliefs
about their own abilities.
The workshop takes participants on a journey of understanding different
learning styles, challenges their way of looking at things through the
use of scotomas, teaches participants to listen and challenge their own
internal dialogue about how they can achieve anything they set their
mind to through developing the skill of chunking.
Job Readiness is to have an understanding of -
* Types of employment
