New youth education and workplace grant

Young people aged between 15 and 25 living in bushfire-affected communities are encouraged to apply for the Youth Education and Workplace Pathways Grants.

The grant, co-funded by the Bendigo Bank and Salvation Army offers $3,000 to support young people’s educational development and further their workplace aspirations.

The grant can help with:

• Out of pocket expenses for Government Courses, TAFE Programs, transition courses or other identified educational programs

• The purchase of study related or employment related materials such as laptops, books or tools

• Transport costs to and from employment, the purchase of safety equipment for courses, or personal needs for improving employment interview presentation.
