ETC supports Youth Week on the North Coast

Transition to Work (TtW) provider Enterprise & Training Company (ETC) is proud to have sponsored the Youth Week event CrankFest which ran in Evans Head Saturday 16 April.

Crankfest is the largest Regional Youth Festival in the North Coast of NSW providing mentoring and education opportunities, information on programs, services and youth related issues. Young people will also have the opportunity to showcase their talents in Sports, Music, Dance and other Arts.

ETC TtW Operations Manager for the North Coast Toni Bellos said she was thrilled to have supported the event.

“Youth Week is an opportunity for young people to express their ideas and views, act on issues that affect their lives, and create and enjoy activities and events,” Ms Bellos said.

“Events such as CrankFest are a fantastic setting for young people to take advantage of these opportunities. It also gives us the chance to connect with and support the local youth.”

Ms Bellos said her North Coast team have experience in youth work, criminology, psychology, apprenticeships/traineeships, recruitment, training and teaching backgrounds, and management as well as employment services.

“I see us (ETC) as a ‘one stop shop’ for youth employment and training options. We can assist in traineeships/apprenticeships, fulltime and part time positions in a variety of industries. We have valued contacts within the community and strong relationships with local employers,” Ms Bellos said.

“I encourage local employers to come on board and help support our youth.”

Transition to Work is designed to help young people aged 15-21 either return to school, engage in further study or training or gain employment.

ETC provides the TtW service in Lismore, Grafton, Ballina, Casino and Byron Bay. For more information contact 1800 007 400 or visit www.etcltd.com.au
