Step Up Latrobe Valley head out to the great outdoors

Program 18 participants spent the day out at Tarrabulga National Park to be one with nature. Today's session involved working on an activity that required them to practice their communication, problem solving and teamwork skills.

They initially started off reserved and quiet but warmed up with the help of the Development Coaches. It was great to see they could work together to solve the activity.

Through practising these important skills, they were reminded how vital they are for when they progress into employment and for staying employed.

Not only did they complete this activity successfully, but they also participated in a "digital detox" day where they would not look at their phones. This aligned with the theme for the day and allowed them to be more present with each other.

Today's activity was a great opportunity to embrace nature, practice their communication skills and switch off from the digital world.
