IntoWork launches National School Awards program

IntoWork, the leading not for profit provider of employment, skills, education and support programs in Australia, has launched its “Vibrant Futures Award” program in more than 100 schools across the country.

Named after the IntoWork Group’s vision of ‘Vibrant Futures’, the award program was created to acknowledge individuals who demonstrate two key values that are highly sought after in today’s global society – Integrity and Respect.

“Today’s students are our future leaders, and it is important that we support and encourage those personal attributes that will contribute to a positive, inclusive and thriving society,” said IntoWork Group CEO Poul Bottern.

The IntoWork Group works with tens of thousands of people each year, offering pathways to further training, employment and specialist support to achieve their work and life goals. “In every industry, both in Australia and around the world, those achieving success are not only those equipped with the essential skills but who also consistently demonstrate Integrity and Respect in everything they do.”

IntoWork will partner with 115 schools for the inaugural Vibrant Futures Award program. “We want to celebrate the positive impact these young people have already had on society through living these values, and reinforce the importance of these as foundations for a successful future, no matter what career path they choose”.

Students who consistently demonstrate the values of Integrity and Respect in their school, work and personal lives are eligible to be nominated for the Vibrant Futures Awards by their teachers via a confidential nomination process. Three finalists from each school will be announced, with one winner per school receiving a $500 voucher, certificate and a lapel pin.

The Vibrant Futures Award program builds upon the existing work the IntoWork Group does with young people, students and school leavers across Australia, which includes career advice and mentoring, apprenticeship and traineeship opportunities, transition support services, employment and training programs and youth engagement programs.

“We’re very proud to be launching the Vibrant Futures Award program. Through these awards, we hope to encourage and empower young Australians to strive for excellence and make a difference.”
