Watch Term 1 2026 ForgeAhead Graduation Celebration Live

We are incredibly proud to recognise the commitment and support of our local schools who are making a real difference in the lives of young people through the ForgeAhead Program.

James Nash State High School

Gympie State High School

Gympie Flexi School

These schools are not just educating students — they are backing innovative, hands-on pathways that are proven to re-engage young people who are at risk of disengagement.

Across Australia, 1 in 5 young people disengage from education before completing Year 12, and early intervention programs like ForgeAhead are critical in turning this around. Our program provides practical trade skills, mentoring, and real-world pathways, helping young people build confidence, resilience, and a sense of purpose.
