OzAdventures would like to announce that the next Operation Hard Yakka program will be running from Monday 10th June to Friday the 21st of June 2024. 

Discover the transformative power of Operation Hard Yakka, an innovative youth training and development initiative inspired by the Australian military ethos. Our youth military development program offers troubled youth a structured pathway towards personal growth and success, combining rigorous training methods with mentorship and support.

Key concepts that our military boot camp program covers include respect, attitude, trust, self-control, self discipline, anti-bullying, teamwork, confidence, motivation, being away from modern technology, school/social/family issues, rights and responsibilities along with many other concepts. 

This program has been specifically designed for male attendees only and will be staffed by Ex Australian Military Instructors, Police Officers, Correctional Services, Security, Youth Workers, Business Operators, past participants and other community members. 

Join us on a journey of empowerment and resilience-building, where every challenge overcome leads to a brighter future.

Program Structure:

At the core of our program lies the philosophy of experiential learning, a dynamic approach that emphasises active engagement and reflection to foster profound growth. We believe that true learning emerges when individuals:

  1. Observe the outcomes of their actions, both intended and unforeseen.
  2. Reflect on the successes and areas for improvement.
  3. Strategize and plan, integrating newfound insights into future endeavors, encompassing not only the program’s activities but also extending into participants’ daily lives, whether at home or in sports.

Research has shown that articulating learning objectives enhances their attainment. By embracing the experiential learning model, we empower participants to continuously evaluate their goals, recalibrate as necessary, and carry forward newfound knowledge into every facet of their lives, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Success in our program is measured by the ability to seamlessly transfer insights gained from one experience to another, ensuring that learning becomes a versatile tool for navigating life’s challenges.
