Founder of BackTrack Youth Works - Bernie Shakeshaft

This week on the podcast, we introduce Bernie Shakeshaft, Founder of BackTrack Youth Works, a program aimed at guiding young people towards a brighter future through vocational, on-the-job training, that’s deliberately aligned with the regional job market. In this episode, Russell and Bernie discuss the benefits of using animals in education and the incredible effect it’s had on the youth at Back Track. It’s because of this approach that the crime rates in Armidale have drastically reduced.
