Minister to call in for coffee and chat

EDUCATION Services Minister Jacinta Allan will visit the Casey Cafe in Cranbourne East to look at issues affecting young people in the area.
Cranbourne MP Jude Perera invited the Minister during a recent session of Parliament.
Mr Perera asked that she visit the cafe, a youth access training venue for the William Angliss Institute of TAFE, to look at how it is helping meet the needs of young people wanting to enter the hospitality industry.
He said the Institute, through program coordinator Phil Sealey, had been catering to the hospitality training needs of Cranbourne’s young and disengaged people at the cafe for the last four years.
Ms Allan, who is also Minister for Employment and Youth Affairs, told Parliament she would be pleased to meet TAFE representatives.
“Members can consider the enormous growth in the city of Casey… and the enormous amount of young people and young families who live in that area,” Ms Allan said.
“Young people and their educational and employment opportunities are important to this community.”
She said she would arrange a suitable date with Mr Perera to visit the cafe.
