Moving RIJI forward in 2012

Real Industry Job Interview (RIJI) Program is a great partnership initiative that has the support of local schools, Work Readiness Providers that work in Darebin, Moreland and Yarra and the wider business community.

INLLEN together with the support of Work Readiness Providers facilitated a ‘Going for a Job’ Teacher Training Session at Northcote Town Hall on Tuesday 24th April and launched the ‘new look’ Real Industry Job Interview (RIJI) Teacher Resource which will be available on our website soon.

Teachers highly valued the information presented and evaluations were extremely positive. Feedback suggested that they are now better equipped to develop job readiness skills in their students and work with the Resource.

A big thank you to Breakthru Solutions who allocated time for Julie Sanders (Breakthru Employment Consultant) to engage with teachers and run the Session.   Julie’s experience and expertise was highly praised.

Thank you also to the RIJI Steering Committee partners: Breakthru Solutions, Wesley Employment Services, Workskil, Sarina Russo and City of Darebin.
