Three projects in Moreland received Pathways to Employment grants for 2010-2011.

The Seven Stars Training Project @ CERES (Brunswick)

The Seven Stars café is a food enterprise at CERES Community Environment Park that assists migrant women who live in the northern suburbs of Moreland. The project will train an extra 10 women in Certificate II hospitality to enable them to work at Seven Stars. The women will undertake a work placement at Seven Stars where they will learn from other women of similar backgrounds who have previously completed the training. CERES

Piloting Youth Employment Opportunities in the Not-for-Profit Sector @ Sussex St Neighbourhood House (Coburg North)

This project is the start of Sussex Street's youth participation strategy aimed at increasing the number of young people participating in activities at the house. The project will provide structured work experience placements for 2 young people, exposing them to office admin, project coordination and committee work. Sussex Street Neighbourhood House will establish a youth committee to develop and implement youth activities at the house and learnings from this pilot project will be used to identify how best to support young people to access programs at the house on an ongoing basis.

Step Three Project @ – A.R.A.B. (Fawkner)

Over the past three years the Inner North Community Foundation has supported A.R.A.B’s efforts to increase earning opportunities for talented young people. Step One (2008) taught young people how to set themselves up as professional performers, including communications with event organisers, stage management and logistical coordination of gigs. Step Two (2009) focused on increasing the number of young women taking up paid performance opportunities at A.R.A.B. Now, Step Three will see the creation of Victoria’s first multi-faith, multi-disciplinary Youth Artist Registry to promote youth artists to events organisers and businesses. At a broader level, the registry will contribute towards increasing the representation of young performers from multicultural backgrounds on Melbourne’s event circuit. Thank you Portland House Foundation for supporting this project.Anti Racism Action Band - A.R.A.B.
