Transition to work

We help early school leavers and young people experiencing unemployment to gain the skills and confidence to transition into sustainable and meaningful employment.

Transition to Work enables life changing opportunities for young people who are currently unemployed by developing the necessary skills and training alongside individualised support. Transition to Work helps young people understand an employer’s needs and develop the necessary skills, attitudes and behaviours that will help them secure and maintain employment. This includes:

  • Developing practical skills to be job-ready
  • Understanding what employers want (and why)
  • Connecting with education or other training
  • Find and participate in work experience
  • Knowing where to look for local job opportunities
  • Connect with other relevant community services

We see you as an individual

Identifying an individual’s interests, strengths and help build the self-confidence needed to break out of long term unemployment helps our Transition to Work team support a young person into a job. We focus on building vocational and non-vocational skills such as expression, creativity and self worth.

Erin is one of hundreds of young people we've worked with and tailored support specifically to her goals, aspirations and passions. Check out what Erin has to say about her experience and where she is now.

 

Our connected services

At Youth Projects, each young person has access to additional supports for mental health, alcohol and other drug counselling, accredited vocational training and other services to ensure you receive the most effective support based on your own goals, aspirations, and needs.

Want to join us? 

If you are a young person experiencing unemployment or are an early school leaver looking for a job or training, we may be able to help you. 

I'm ready, sign me up!
