"A new project will help students from remote communities in the Torres Strait and Cape York to successfully move from school into employment.
During a visit to Cairns today (8/10/08), the Minister for Employment Participation, Brendan O’Connor, joined the Member for Leichhardt, Jim Turnour, to announce
Australian Government funding of $294,640 for the new School-to-Work Transition project.
The funding is being provided under the Government’s Structured Training and Employment Projects (STEP).
The project will involve AFL Cape York working with Djarragun College in Cairns to engage a program co-ordinator for two years to support Indigenous students moving from school into work."
