Vocational Training Teams are part of a Rotary International pilot project aiming to assist communities address literacy and employability needs. Rotary International has a commitment to working with local communities to promote enhanced life skills and the opportunities for persons to live productive lives.
Our team will be based in Detroit (USA) working with local government agencies, education groups, business, etc. in developing programs to address workplace literacy and employability skills. The team consists of six persons drawn from North Queensland, Australia. The team members are volunteers (not necessarily Rotarians). The team departs for Detroit on 9 April 2011.

Just go to the right of this page under ‘Site Map’ and click into the selected gallery. We’ll continue to take lots of happy snaps and get them uploaded to the blog as soon as possible.
