Fostering Integration Project
by eccnswmedia
The Pathways to Personal Development and Success (PPDS) program, funded by the Department of Home Affairs and delivered by ECCNSW, has achieved significant success in
integrating Thai and Tamil-speaking women aged 30 to 64 into Australian society. Targeting women with low English proficiency and high levels of social isolation, the program has
provided critical support in several areas.
Through educational sessions, participants gained knowledge about Australian citizenship, increasing their motivation to pursue it and enhancing their sense of belonging. Job readiness training, including resume writing, job application processes, and interview techniques, significantly improved employability. The program also fostered community
connections, reducing isolation and providing essential emotional and practical support.
