With a focus on learning and development for adults with disability, Yooralla’s Northern Learning Hub is the perfect place for young school leavers as they consider their next steps after finishing secondary school.
Tara is one of the first to attend the hub and has been developing her life skills, including her money skills.
“I’m pretty good with money but I still need to practice [with] money, budgeting etc.,” Tara said, who is working towards her goal of employment.
“Working at a market handing change to people, that’s what I want to do…I still need to learn more [money skills] because there’s a lot more to learn about it.”
The weekly hub program includes two days at Yooralla’s digital learning space in Fawkner, two days at Hume Council’s Broadmeadows Community Hub, and a full day of various activities across Melbourne.
Programs are matched to individual goals, needs, interests and strengths, and can be a stepping-stone for TAFE, volunteering and open employment.
