Academy Programs
Our Academy Programs are foundational courses that teach key life skills for independent living and employability. Many of our Academy graduates go on to work for Good Sammy Enterprises or progress into a Certified Traineeship.
Explore is for high school students in year 9 to 12 who are curious about the world of work.
Are you someone who likes a lively, social office environment or a quiet, slower paced one? Do you like hands-on, practical tasks and to-do lists or the dynamic nature of customer service? These are just a few questions our Explore program can help you answer!
The goal of Explore is to help you build core work skills, grow confidence, gain experience in different industries, and discover your interests so that you can clearly identify which employment pathway you want to pursue come graduation.
It’s an amazing opportunity test the waters of the working world and to learn what type of jobs you like doing (and what you’d like to avoid!).
