CVGT Employment Chief Executive Officer Jason Russell said the organisation was excited to deliver the Parent Pathways program after 40 years of services in the employment services sector.
“This new program launch reflects our commitment to providing practical support and flexible services that build skills, confidence and readiness for work," he said.
“Our team builds relationships with local agencies, including childcare providers and community organisations, to give parents and carers the support they need.”
Mr Russell said people receiving a parenting payment, carer payment, special benefit, and have a child under six years old are eligible for the program.
The Parent Pathway service will enable eligible parents to access financial and mentoring support so that they can take the next step towards achieving their employment goals while balancing raising a child.
CVGT Employment Specialist Program Manager Silva Tecer said the Pathway service builds upon the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations’ existing ParentsNext program.
“CVGT Employment’s Parent Pathway program is more than just a service, it’s a community,” Ms Tecer said .
