VERTO is proud to be selected to offer the Parent Pathways program in the Central West, continuing our dedication to supporting young parents as they navigate the demands of family life while pursuing their career and educational goals.
This new initiative, part of the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations’ commitment to providing targeted support for parents, empowers young parents to build secure and fulfilling futures. Through Parent Pathways, parents will access tailored support plans that include education, training, and employment assistance, as well as practical services like childcare and family support, designed to meet their unique needs.
VERTO CEO, Ron Maxwell, stated, "We are honored to continue making a difference in the lives of young parents in the Central West. The Parent Pathways program goes beyond simply opening doors to employment; it’s about recognising the distinct challenges of parenthood and helping individuals achieve their potential in both their personal and professional lives."
The program’s tailored approach ensures that parents receive the resources and guidance they need to overcome barriers and achieve long-term success. By connecting parents with local training and employment opportunities, VERTO aims to help individuals build a sustainable future, while providing access to community resources that support them in balancing family responsibilities with career ambitions.
"Supporting young parents is essential to building stronger communities," Maxwell added. "With the Parent Pathways program, we are investing not only in those we serve but also in the future of the Central West region. We are excited to see the positive impact this initiative will bring to both parents and their families."
The Parent Pathways program is expected to make a significant difference across the Central West, providing much-needed support to parents who face challenges balancing their career aspirations with family responsibilities. With VERTO’s established connections to local employers and training providers, the program will be a vital link for parents aiming to achieve independence and long-term success.
