The key objectives of this role is to assist the trainer and to help participants to have positive purpose by attaining knitting skills, improving group and personal communication and behavioral skills.

The KITE Program is a partnership between Jesuit Community College and Department of Justice. The Department of Justice and Regulation Community Work Program, KITE  involves women on Community Correction Orders (CCO). The women attend the program one day per week and are supported to learn knitting, designing, labelling and packaging. They produce knitted items for women in shelters, children overseas, homeless people and injured penguins.  The project includes enrolment in a basic LLN (Language, Literacy and Numeracy) program which also addresses behaviour, strengths and esteem. Units of competency are embedded into the program to formalise the participant’s learning, group skills, creativity, communication skills and provide a pathway to education and training.
