Beacon Lunches

Last week AB Computer Training were privileged to help out as part of the Beacon's Polish Programme.

Beacon is a national non-profit organisation working in more than 120 secondary schools across all Australian states and territories. It  believes every young Australian can develop an independent will to achieve personal success for themselves and their community. Beacon has an established track record of helping inspire and motivate students to either stay in school and increase their educational engagement and attainment or choose a positive pathway that enables successful transition to employment, further education or training.


The Polish Programme is designed to equip students with various social and presentation skills. As part of this, local business people are invited to lunch and sit with the students, giving them the chance to practice what they have learned, but also for businesses and potential employers to network with them and each other.


It was great to be able to meet so many young people committed to furthering their own education and social skills, and so many other businesses willing to help them in this. We look forward to taking part in further sessions with beacon.
