Providing youth employment services and jobs for young people
We believe in the abilities of young people and help those seeking employment by providing information and support about what’s expected in the workplace.
Transition to Work is a youth employment program initiated by the Australian Government. Its purpose is to provide support for young people to help them gain a paid position or further education.
If you are aged 15-24 and looking for direction, the Transition to Work program can help you build skills and confidence to enter the workforce.
Supporting your career pathway with the youth employment scheme
Whether you have left school early or have had difficulty finding a job after completing your education, we’re here to help. Our team not only assist in keeping you on track with achieving your goals, but we also work with you to develop abilities that will enable you to move forward in your career of choice.
While it may seem overwhelming at first, with the assistance of a friendly team to support and chat with you, we want to help you achieve outcomes that will lead to sustainable employment.
To explore a range of career options, we first work to help identify your strengths and areas of interest by:
- Developing practical skills for use in a work environment
- Connect with education or training to further your abilities
- Find and complete work placements for real-life experience
- Find career opportunities in the local area
