PCYC NSW and Wilson Security have joined forces to enhance employment outcomes and create career pathways for young people who have faced barriers to traditional education or work opportunities.
In a game-changer for young job seekers, PCYC NSW and Wilson Security are offering young people in Sydney’s Canterbury/Bankstown area who meet the eligibility criteria access to a fully funded Certificate II in Security Operations, opening the door to potential guaranteed employment upon successful completion of training.
“Wilson Security is dedicated to fostering social impact and inclusion by investing in the future workforce and wellbeing of communities across the state, creating direct pathways to employment,” Wilson Security General Manager Christine Thornton said.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, youth unemployment is rising above 10% in communities like Fairfield and Mount Druitt. This milestone partnership aims to fill a gap, transforming unemployment hotspots into opportunity zones through targeted, real-world job placements.
“It’s an investment not only in PCYC NSW but also in the community,” PCYC NSW CEO Ben Hobby said, thanking Wilson Security for its generosity. “This partnership demonstrates the power of corporate and community organisations coming together to deliver tangible, life-changing outcomes for young people who could otherwise be locked out of employment.”
Wilson Security’s dedication to creating social impact is in addition to a funding commitment for employability programs at PCYC Bankstown. ‘Fit for Work’ is one of them, designed to address a young person’s disengagement from education and employment opportunities, to re-engage back in education or career pathways.
