Mission Australia’s National Green Jobs Corps (NGJC) project – a 26 week environmental training program offered in partnership with Conservation Volunteers Australia – offers young people a combination of work experience, skill 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 the Shepparton region have undertaken real work experience activities such as tree planting, propagation, weed control and stabilisation of embankments in newly created wetlands.
The launch of Shepparton Wetlands rejuvenation project will be the last of its kind for the region. Participants will be undertaking real work experience activities including reclamation and redevelopment of the old land fill site at the end of Kialla Tip Road.
Anthony Moore, Victorian Regional Manager for Mission Australia said the team is looking forward to making a difference to the local environment and picking up skills for the future.
“This is an opportunity for a team of local youths to get hands-on experience in projects that benefit the environment and the local community.” said Mr Moore.
