LIFT

At its heart, LIFT is a job-readiness training program, but it’s so much more than that. It’s a chance for Hervey Bay residents to find their purpose and take meaningful steps towards the job or career of their dreams. Through a network of events, training and coaching opportunities, LIFT aims to break the cycle of long-term unemployment in our community.

This is achieved through:

  • Youth Assistance Program (YAP) for 15 to 18-year-olds
  • Industry Ready Training for 18+ years old, 10 week program
  • Training and Employment Coaches - assisting employees to thrive in their new roles 

LIFT is funded by the Department of Social Services.
