These two deadly IYMP Townsville participants have been successful in gaining a spot in the Certificate III in Rural Operations course after completing their Certificate I and II in Skills for Vocational Pathways. 

Maia and Willington were both undertaking the Cert I and II in Townsville till the COVID Pandemic struck and they both had to return to their home communities of Badu Island and Boigu Island. Despite this setback, both Maia and Willington continued to study via weekly online Zoom sessions with a CEA trainer and successfully completed the Certificate I and II in Skills for Vocational Pathways.

Maia and Willington have only recently returned to the Townsville site where they have been successful in gaining a spot in the Certificate III in Rural Operations course. This certification will ensure that both Maia and Willington are doing what they love, which is learning hands on, working outdoors, and working collaboratively in a team environment.

Maia and Willington continue to remain committed to their studies and gaining skills and qualifications towards a rewarding career. On behalf of all the IYMP family, well done and keep working hard!
