Transition to Work

Transition to Work Helping Youth in SE Qld Succeed

Transitioning from school to work can be a challenging and daunting experience for many young people, particularly in the Southeast Queensland region. However, with the proper support and resources, young adults can successfully navigate this transition and set themselves up for a successful future.
A critical aspect of this transition is ensuring that young people have access to quality skill, education and training opportunities.

Transition to Work Program

The Transition to Work program is a government-funded initiative designed to help 14-24-year-olds in Australia make a successful transition from education to employment. The program provides a range of services to support young people in developing the skills and experience they need to secure and maintain employment. Including job readiness training, mentoring, and work experience placements. The program also supports employers in helping recruit and retain young people through incentives and other measures. Delivered by Tursa Employment and Training who work closely with young people and employers to ensure that the program supports both needs. Aiming to help young people overcome barriers to employment, such as a lack of work experience or low levels of education, and to improve their chances of securing a job.

Practical Assistance

Another critical aspect of the transition to work is providing young people with support and guidance in finding and securing employment. This can include assistance with resume writing, job searching, and interviewing skills. Additionally, TURSA offers to mentor and coaching programs, which provide young people with a role model or coach who can offer guidance and advice on the job search process.
In addition to education and employment support, it is also essential to provide young people with access to other resources and services to help them succeed. This can include financial assistance, counselling, mental health and well-being support.D

We cannot always build the future for our youth. But we can build our youth for the future.

The Transition to Work program can make the future clearer. 😊
