Show your support for ongoing funding of EnViTE's environmental programs - 1000 signatures are needed! The National Green Jobs Corp program will finish in June 2012 and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations has confirmed there will be “no environmental training and employment programs for the foreseeable future”.  It will be the first time in 20 years that labour market programs of this type have not be available.  This is despite the ongoing youth unemployment, social and environmental problems these programs can alleviate. Please sign the following petition to show your support for the program.

Please click on this link to add your details to a petition and leave any comments in support.  This petition will then be available to local Federal Members of Parliament and Job Futures in support of lobbying efforts.  I have also been lobbying at State level.
