From Friday November 1, CVGT Employment will roll out its new Parent Pathways service in Echuca, replacing the existing ParentsNext program.

This program was created based on extensive consultations with parents and focusing on their needs and aspirations for themselves and their families.

The initiative will offer parents and carers of young children support in juggling family life with employment and education goals.

CVGT Employment’s specialist program manager Silvia Tecer said the program could help connect parents to beneficial services.

“CVGT Employment’s Parent Pathways program is more than just a service, it’s a community,” she said.

“Our service offers a supportive and flexible environment where participants can connect with resources and qualified mentors to achieve their goals.”

The CVGT team builds strong relationships with local agencies, including childcare providers and community organisations, in order to source the right support that parents and carers need.

Parents will be able to access a range of services through the program, including career counselling, skills training, job search assistance and childcare referrals.

The program also offers workshops on work-life balance, financial literacy and personal development.
