Interpreter 

An English Punjabi interpreter will be in attendance at each session of this training program. However, you must be able to read, write and communicate in English to successfully participate in this training.  

This training program is facilitated by Melton City Council with support of funding from the Melbourne Airport Community Grants Program. This grant program is focused on initiatives that respond to the needs of local communities and reflect their cultural makeup. The City of Melton’s Punjabi speaking community was initially identified as a cohort that may benefit from these training sessions.
