Ground Control blasts off with major jobs initiative

Local community organisation, Gladstone Community Linking Agency (GCLA), is part of the solution in generating employment opportunities for youth in our region. GCLA is a not for profit organisation which specialises in the provision of various levels of support for the aged and also individuals with disability.

With unemployment levels high in the region at the moment, the organisation is very aware of how much more of an issue that is for those with a disability. GCLA has launched a social enterprise to help generate jobs and have appropriately named the initiative ‘Ground Control’. The enterprise will provide lawn care and garden maintenance encouraging young people with a disability to get back into the workforce and develop new skills.
