GOLD COAST, AUGUST 21
The Multicultural Communities Council Gold Coast (MCCGC) has celebrated the graduation of students who completed Certificate III in Individual Support, marking an important step towards careers in the care sector.
The graduation ceremony recognised the commitment, hard work and determination of students who completed their training and developed skills to support people in aged care, disability services and community care.
The program has equipped graduates with practical skills to work with people with empathy, professionalism and respect. MCCGC said the training also supports stronger employment pathways for students from multicultural communities.
The event featured speeches from MCCGC CEO Shane Klintworth, trainers, registered training organisation representatives and members of the organisation’s Employment and Training Hub team. Their messages highlighted the importance of education, perseverance and investing in future career opportunities.
Several graduates also shared their experiences of personal transformation, increased confidence and a growing passion for supporting others. Their reflections highlighted the broader significance of work in the care sector, where compassion, connection and a commitment to helping others are central to the profession.
MCCGC congratulated the graduates on reaching the milestone and wished them success as they begin the next stage of their professional journeys.
The organisation said it supports students from multicultural communities in building skills, gaining confidence and accessing meaningful employment opportunities. Programs such as Certificate III in Individual Support are aimed at creating stronger pathways into essential sectors while helping communities feel more connected, valued and included.
The graduation follows MCCGC’s ongoing work in employment and training, including vocational programs designed to help multicultural community members gain qualifications and move into employment. MCCGC’s previous Certificate III graduation program has also recorded strong employment outcomes, with graduates moving into care-sector roles.
