BRONCOS JOIN TRANZITIONS @ WORK
31st May 2007

tranzitions @ work announced today that Brisbane Broncos stars, David Stagg and Dane Carlaw, will act as ambassadors for the organisation.

Brisbane Broncos premiership players and Queensland State of Origin Representatives, David Stagg and Dane Carlaw have an invested interest in the local community as both men grew up and did their schooling at Padua College at Kedron.

Both players understand the importance of the Local Community Partnership, Youth Pathways initiative and appreciate the other programmes that tranzitions @ work implement in the community.

tranzitions @ work manager Brenda Higgins was delighted to be associated with the Broncos and said that David Stagg and Dane Carlaw were perfect ambassadors for the organisation.

“tranzitions @ work are ecstatic to have formed an association with the Broncos through David Stagg and Dane Carlaw.

“The Broncos pair portray the same hard working, committed and successful attitude that we encourage all the students to display. We really hope that this association can have a positive effect on the students,” Brenda said.

This association is complimented by the fact that David and Dane did their schooling at Padua College at Kedron, a school that tranzitions @ work assists on a regular basis. David Stagg was also delighted and happy to be associated with an organisation that does so much for the community.

“To be associated with tranzitions @ work is great as they do so much work for youth in our community. Many young people are confused about what they want to do after school. tranzitions @ work provides opportunities for students to obtain work experience and even apprenticeships,” David said.

Dane Carlaw was proud to be associated with such a great organisation and was looking forward to giving something back to the community.

“To have the opportunity to give something back to the community where I grew up is great. I really hope my association with tranzitions @ work can encourage and inspire students to be passionate about their future career,” Dane said.

tranzitions @ work is a Local Community Partnership that works with high schools and youth on the Redcliffe Peninsula and parts of north Brisbane. The not-for-profit organisation works with schools and the business community to identify and establish fulfilling careers for young people while satisfying the skill requirements of the business community and local industries.
