\u201cIt\u2019s inspiring to know that one of our consultants has met a parent at a stage where they had a goal in mind but didn\u2019t have the resources to achieve it, and then these two people have collaborated to work towards achieving that goal,\u201d <\/em>Ms Mossop said.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s also great to see the positive impact that this has on the parent and their family.\u201d

In May 2023, the federal government announced the conclusion of ParentsNext as a compulsory program for eligible parents, but making involvement voluntary in the lead up to a new pre-employment program for parents.

This program is due to commence in November. In response to these changes, OCTEC commenced our Savvy Parents service. This voluntary program offers pre-employment assistance for parents of young children.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
