Jan worked for many years in administration in various businesses around Ballarat. In 2005 she decided to make a career change and after completing a short course, became an integration aide. This lead to an offer of a postion with Youth Pathways working with "students at risk" in schools at Ararat, Beaufort, Lake Bolac and Ballarat. While in this postition she completed her Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and Certificate IV in Youth Work.

She then took up her current part time position at THAT PLACE so that she can continue to be involved with her sons' sport and community commitments.

Diana & Jan can assist you in exploring your areas of interest and skill, to help you take the initial steps in constructing a meaningful pathway of your choice.

Once your pathway has been developed, they can help you put your plan into action whilst providing ongoing support.
