NSW SES Internship Equips Local Youth with Emergency Skills

NSW SES

More than 20 youth from the Southern Illawarra region have completed a 10-week internship program through the NSW State Emergency Service (SES), learning communication skills, basic first aid, leadership and flood and storm response.

Through hands-on lessons and practical demonstrations at the NSW SES Shellharbour Unit outside of school hours, students gained enhanced knowledge of natural disasters and how to prepare for an emergency should they arise.

The Illawarra students join more than 80 other youth from 10 locations across the state who graduated from the program this week.
