CAFE HORIZONS
DOWNLOAD OUR CATERING MENU
The Café aims to provide vocational training and life skills to at-risk young people who experience difficulty in accessing traditional training, particularly those in recovery from drug dependence, through the provision of accredited training in a supported, flexible, hands-on, enterprise environment.
Spanning over 20 weeks the accredited training program at Café Horizons provides the opportunity for local young people to gain a (SIT10207) Certificate I in Hospitality and (SIT20207) Certificate II in Hospitality. This certification is run in conjunction with The Salvation Army Booth College (NTIS0328) transferable to other programs run at TAFE.
The vision of the Café is multi-faceted. Not only does it strive to engage at-risk youth in vocational training, the Café also endeavours to provide assistance with personal issues, professional development opportunities and life skills training. The Café provides personal support throughout the program and job seeking assistance after the program. Whilst providing the opportunity to attain national qualifications it also gives young people from the St Marys / Cabramatta areas the opportunity to gain employability skills such as customer service, money management, food service and preparation.
There are seven areas of service offered to the young people for experience. In the sixth week of the program a formal review takes place, giving students and trainers the opportunity to assess the structure and content of the program.
Due to recent changes in the school leaving age conditions apply to the referral of 15 and 16 year old young people to the Cafe Horizons program. See attachment setting out these conditions.
