Did you know that Thrive House has partnered with Vocational Training Queensland (VTQ) to deliver training right here at our Community Hub in Maroochydore?
These courses are designed to help young people build essential literacy, numeracy, and learning skills, with the added benefit of 1:1 learning support from our trained Thrive House staff, available through NDIS funding.
VTQ is a registered training organisation (RTO) owned by the Queensland Department of Education. Providing inclusive and practical training for young people across Queensland who need support in developing their foundational learning skills.
Their mission is to empower participants to take the next step, whether that’s further education, training, or employment, through flexible, supportive, and inclusive learning programs.
You can also find VTQ listed on the Department of Education’s public website.
Every young person’s learning journey matters. Courses are designed to support people at different stages of learning, meeting them where they are and helping them grow in confidence and independence.
Through our partnership, Thrive House and VTQ are creating a safe, inclusive, and empowering space for young people to thrive through education, supported by the NDIS.
