Green Pathways Nursery

Horticulture Skills & Employment Pathway.

(NDIS Supported)

Grow skills. Grow Confidence. Grow Futures

Green Pathways is a supported pathway to employment for young people aged 16–25.

 

From your first day, you learn by doing – developing practical horticulture skills, workplace confidence and independence in a real nursery environment.

 

Unlike a traditional course with a fixed beginning and end, Green Pathways continues at your pace. Your goals, skills and work readiness help shape the journey.

Two ways to start your Green Pathways journey

1. Join Green Pathways directly

Start hands-on nursery experience straight away and begin developing practical horticulture skills, confidence and workplace experience from day one.

 

2. Start via our 8-week horticulture course

You can also begin with our 8-week horticulture course and then continue your journey through Green Pathways.
