Cherbourg community organisations have come to the fore to give teenagers their first step into a career.
Sabastian and Jalam Aubrey stepped into the Yurri Muntha Café in Cherbourg on Tuesday.
The two Murgon State High School Year 10 students were mentored by chef Sheree Strauss and four other co-workers.
Ms Strauss had the teenagers making pie bases on their first morning and planned to get them on the coffee machine later that day.
“We’re not just having them clean or sweep floors,” she said.
“We want them to have a real experience that allows them an insight to what it’s like to be a chef.”
While some students were slicing and dicing at the cafe, others were splicing and dicing at Radio UsMob.
You can forget Kyle Sandilands, John Laws or even Chrissy Bond, the next big thing to hit radio could be Andy O’Chin or Shane Dynevor.
Andy and Shane’s had the opportunity to learn the ropes from UsMob radio veterans.
On their first day they learned how to splice, dice, mix, match and project their voice in a manner to sell goods for an ad, or an idea to an audience.
“It’s been great fun,” they said together.
