Mission Australia’s National Green Jobs Corps – a 26-week environmental training program offered in partnership with Victoria University and Imaroo Sustainable Community Centre – offers young people, aged 17 to 24 years, a combination of work experience, skills development and accredited training to equip them with the skills necessary for future employment in green and climate change industries.
During the project, the group of graduates from Melbourne’s west worked on the restoration of native habitat environment, revegetation, environmental weed control, water monitoring, flora and fauna surveys at Victoria University’s St Albans campus.
The graduation will congratulate participants on achieving a Certificate II in Conservation and Land Management.
“Our recent graduates enjoyed making a difference to the local environment and picking up skills for the future.
“We want to congratulate each graduate on this big achievement and wish them all the best on their career journey here on in,” Mr Moore said.
