I've had the opportunity to personally meet a number of amazing young people who have secured work through the PaTH program, and to also talk to the business owners who have taken them on. For example, a young man, Dylan, from Queensland, said that the mere thought of applying for a job and going to an interview was enough to make him feel physically ill, but since he undertook the PaTH internship at a local resort, he hasn't looked back. Even though he had no prior experience, his internship has turned into a job and he now gets to do what he loves—that is, work outdoors. Another great example is a business owner by the name of Sherryll. She owns a panel-work business in Moe in Victoria. Sherryll was willing to take on a young girl by the name of Cheneille through the Youth Jobs PaTH program. As she says, she feels very lucky to have found her. Cheneille is now on track to do an apprenticeship, which is a great outcome for her and the employer.
