“Our objective is ultimately to inspire and support young Aboriginal students to gain a vocational qualification and stay in school.”
Isaiah is in his second year of the program and is busy making music as Izzarman, with rap collective 1hunnid Records.
He said his studies had been challenging and interesting.
“It’s been great to gain this opportunity and it’s been lots of fun,” he said.
“I’m now really looking forward to finishing the qualification and hopefully finding a job that I really enjoy.”
