Eileen O’Connor Program Taster

In November 2025, students received a certificate upon completing our 5-week School Leaver Program, recognising their commitment and growth throughout this important transition period.

At Forge, we understand that leaving school is more than just a milestone. It marks the beginning of a new chapter. Our School Leaver Program supports young adults as they build confidence, independence, and the practical skills needed for everyday life.

Throughout the program, the students developed key life skills such as cooking, money handling, goal setting, and community access. They also built meaningful friendships, strengthened communication skills, and explored their interests in a supportive and engaging environment.

This program was delivered in collaboration with Eileen O’Connor Catholic College, helping create a smooth and supported transition from school into adulthood. By working closely together, we ensured each student felt guided, empowered, and prepared for what comes next.

At Forge, we are proud to support young people in building a meaningful, connected adult life shaped by their goals, strengths, and aspirations.
