LET'S WORK TOGETHER
Waste Aid
We’re excited to launch our new COGSY program, Waste Aid, aimed at helping Gladstone create a circular economy. Our mission is to train COGSY kids and the community to reuse industrial waste, reducing our throw-away culture. With the knowledge and expertise of our trainers, we will teach practical business models for sustainability.
Got ideas or a passion for reducing waste? Want to mentor or participate? Know a community champion? Reach out on our page or email us at admin@cogsy.org. Let's roll up our sleeves and make a difference together!
COGSY Kids
COGSY, in collaboration with Deploy Workforce Solutions, offers a structured 6-week pre-employment industry transition program. This program prepares youth for entry into various industries by providing training on industry site requirements and job readiness skills.
Beneficiaries: Young job seekers aged 18-25, especially those looking to enter the workforce for the first time.
The Gladstone Careers Expo event is held annually and features a wide range of information and trades demonstration stalls. Students are provided an opportunity to speak with trained staff in various fields to get a real understanding about potential further study options, industries and occupations.
A pilot program in regional Queensland is aiming to improve opportunities and outcomes for local youth.
COGSY firmly believes in the potential of the youth and understands that sometimes all they need is a guiding hand to unlock the plethora of opportunities that surround them. By fostering an environment where learning is accessible and where the power of knowledge fuels their aspirations, COGSY is effectively charting a path towards a promising future.
