| 22 July 2011 |
 MA Media Release, 22 July2011Local youths will graduate from an exciting Mission Australia environmental training program and the launch of the final stage of the project will take place on Friday, 22 July 2011. Mission Australia’s National Green Jobs Corps (NGJC) project – a 26-week environmental training program offered in partnership with Conservation Volunteers Australia – offers young people a combination of work experience, skill development and accredited training to equip them with the skills necessary for future employment in green and climate change industries. During the project, the group of graduates from the Gippsland region have undertaken real work experience activities at Nyerimilang Heritage Park assisting to maintain the heritage buildings, re-planting to create corridors for habitat and improving biodiversity on a broad scale. The launch of Stage 4 of the Greening East Gippsland program will be the last of its kind run in the region. Students will establish native gardens, collect and propagate seeds, identify and control environmental weeds, reduce fire hazards to protect the habitat and more. Anthony Moore, Victorian Regional Manager for Mission Australia said the team is looking forward to making a difference to the local environment and picking up skills for the future. “This is an opportunity for a team of local youths to get hands-on experience in projects that benefit the environment and the local community.” said Mr Moore.
