From 2012 to 2014, Ballarat Neighbourhood Centre (BNC) partnered with the City of Ballarat to provide training for participants in a culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) Careers Program.
In 2015, with funding from the state government and working with the City of Ballarat, Ballarat Regional Multicultural Council (BRMC), Ballarat Community Health (BCH) and the Centre for Multicultural Youth (CMY), BNC had the opportunity to develop and deliver the CALD Education and Employment (CEEP) Program.
The program aimed to enhance social inclusion, employment and educational pathways for sixty (60) CALD men, women and youth. Participants received training to better navigate Australian life, and achieve positive employment and education career goals.
In July 2016, the CEEP program was nominated and won the Victorian Learn Local AMES Australia Diversity Innovation Award.
Ballarat Neighbourhood Centre would like to thank all the members of the CALD community of Ballarat who have participated in the training we provided. Together we are a stronger community.
