Employment
We believe that employment can change and make a real difference to a person’s life and their family! Many young people face hurdles to employment whether it’s personal issues, education, financial and/or health-related. When taught the relevant skills and provided with opportunities, we believe they can overcome these hurdles and thrive!

As a registered provider, we deliver pre-employment support to young people aged 15-24 years, as well as post-employment support to help you transition into work or education smoothly.
