Economic Empowerment
Our Good Start Program has two pathways:
- Vocational Training, designed for marginalised, at risk, out of work young people, this program provides a skilled training program to gain permanent employment, engaging with further paid internships, or being in a position to create their own small business; and
- Village Ventures, designed for vulnerable families with kids, this program provides small-scale business opportunities, including home-based small-scale farming and animal rearing.
Good Start participants receive technical training, small business management training and ongoing support as they move into operation.
