Students learn wood turning under the watchful eyes of Make and Do Club members. Make and Do, MAD is a Men's Club formed to support retirees to remain engaged in community programs. MAD members provide training in wood craft for Y-Care participants seen here working on a wood lathe.

Automotive students are tested on their knowledge of engine timing and electrics.

After completing a course students either return to school or are further supported to continue their education with Y-Care until they are old enough to gain employment. Students are supported for up to twelve months through counselling and case work to ensure that they have the best opportunity of reaching their goals.
