In March 2022 Nudge partnered with the City of Rockingham  to work together to create a Youth Employment Program (YEP).  The City  had a vision of creating a workforce for the future by tapping into the talent and skills of young people in the community while leading a culture that values young talent and the contribution they make to the team.

The vision would be achieved through the creation of a YEP for young people between 16-24 years of age who are keen to undertake a career in local government through a traineeship/apprenticeship.

As we approach the end of 2022, we would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our Nudge partners, stakeholders, and networks, for making 2022 another year of great achievement, highlighted by the diversification of partnerships created in new and existing industries, new entrants into the workforce and young people celebrating the completion of the traineeship and attainment of goals.

At the recent Nudge Sundowner and Training Awards, Lynette was announced as the recipient of the Clerical Trainee of the Year Award for her efforts and dedication to her traineeship journey and her high calibre work output for her employer. A well-deserved recognition of the work she has done over the past 12 months.

Lynette Garlett commenced her traineeship and employment journey in December 2021 on the Leach Welshpool Alliance (LWA) project, undertaking a Business Support Traineeship.

Her bubbly, positive attitude, well-managed approach to multi-tasking her busy personal life and her desire to learn and develop professionally, saw her stand-out as the preferred trainee for the LWA project.

Nudge help young people kickstart their career with confidence through a personalised approach that means we’re able to help trainees build the work skills, life skills and confidence they need to succeed, supported by employers and colleagues who understand how to nurture young talent that enriches their business.

Traineeships and apprenticeships are the perfect introduction to a workplace and its expectations. Our team of recruitment specialists, training experts and mentors work one-on-one with young people and employers across Western Australia to gain the skills and knowledge required in a real-world, practical setting ensuring that young people are set up for future success in their chosen career path.

The annual Nudge Sundowner and Training Awards is an opportunity for young people and employers to come together to recognise the contribution that young people make to the WA business community.

This year the Nudge Sundowner and Training Awards, proudly supported by DevelopmentWA was held at Nowhereman Brewing Company on 16^th November with over 100 people in attendance from 46 businesses, it was an evening to be remembered.
