Are you seeking a career in horticulture or garden maintenance? Are you a young person with a disability, living in the City of Glen Eira, aged 15 to 35 years?
GROW Glen Eira is an exciting and innovative all-abilities horticulture training program for young people with a disability and/or mental health challenges seeking open employment in horticulture.
This exciting and innovative program forms part of Council’s A Community for All Abilities Program, which seeks to create stronger social, employment and support networks for people with a disability.
Kevin Heinze Grow, a leading provider of horticulture training for young people with a disability, is delivering the program. They have extensive experience in realising pathways to employment and meaningful engagement for participants.
The program is already well underway with four participants currently completing their paid work placements at Council’s Park Service in Caulfield Park, Rippon Lea Estate Gardens in Elsternwick and Kevin Heinze Grow’s nurseries. Participants have been developing their skills in plant care, garden maintenance and customer service.
There are still spaces available in the program. To find out if this is the employment pathway for you, KHG will be hosting an online information session via Zoom on Tuesday 21 September from 7pm.
