Purpose: Build job readiness and entrepreneurial capability for young people in Logan.

June 2021 On Track

As a Council-led partnership with the business, education and community sectors, Catapult brings together a range of opportunities that help to prepare young people for the jobs of today and of tomorrow by building an entrepreneurial mindset and enterprise skills. The Catapult pilot program concluded in November and an independent evaluator has been engaged to assess the strengths and areas for further development of the pilot to inform planning and delivery for 2021.

To strengthen partnerships between the business sector, young people and Council we engaged 22 industry partners engaged throughout program in total. To uplift engagement and enterprise skills capability among young people participating in pilot programs, 84 students engaged throughout the program, with 34 progressing through to later stages and receiving further capability development. For Schools and educators to embrace entrepreneurial learning 18 educators, school leadership and support staff have taken part in the professional development sessions.

The above markers, along with qualitative feedback gathered throughout the program, indicate that engagement across key stakeholder groups throughout Q2 is very positive. The program is subsequently set to be scaled in 2021 to reach more students and engage more businesses and educators. Council have formed a key partnership with Education Queensland's ENABLE cluster – a coalition of 14 state high schools across Logan and Beaudesert – to continue building teacher capacity and capability in 2021 and beyond. Furthermore, Council is partnering with the Social Enterprise Network – Logan to provide ongoing support, development, and access to networks for a select group of students who participated in the program pilot.
