Transition to Work
We help young people find work
and stay there
Transition to Work is a FREE program supporting young people who are ready to take the next step towards employment, training or further study.
You do not need to have a job in mind or know exactly what you want to do. Our job coaches are here to help you figure that out.
You may be eligible if you:
- Are aged 15–24.
- Have finished school, or left school at least six months ago after completing Year 12.
- Are not connected with another employment provider.
- Are an Australian citizen.
- Are currently receiving online employment support but would prefer face to face contact.
- Want support to move towards work, training or further study.
How the program works
Meet your job coach
You'll be matched with a dedicated job coach who will get to know you, your goals and your interests.
Create a plan
Together you'll develop a personalised plan that focuses on your next steps.
Build skills and confidence
Develop practical skills, gain experience and prepare for work at a pace that suits you.
Move forward
Connect with employment, training, or study opportunities and continue to receive support as you settle in.
Why choose Workforce Plus?
