The WJV has supported Cowboys House since the commencement of the Training Contract. WJV funding contributes to the two Careers Transitions Officers in the House, who provide invaluable support to the students and their working life once they have finished school. The Careers Transitions Officers work together with the students and local businesses to arrange traineeships and apprenticeships, offering various career pathways for the students of the house.
