Our Youth Employment Services Are Built Around What You Actually Need

Finding work locally is easier when you have people on your side who know the area, understand what employers are looking for and can help you prepare for available opportunities.

Our Beenleigh youth employment services can help you:

Find Job Opportunities That Suit You

Work with your Youth Adviser to identify the types of jobs that match your interests, strengths and goals, then get help finding and applying for relevant opportunities.

Improve Your Resume & Applications

Need a resume? Already have one but not getting interviews? We can help you present your skills and experience clearly and put together stronger job applications.

Get Ready for Interviews

Practise common interview questions, learn how to talk about your experience and build the confidence to walk into your next interview better prepared.

Find an Apprenticeship or Traineeship

Interested in earning while you learn? We can help you look at apprenticeship and traineeship pathways and identify opportunities that suit the type of work you want to pursue.

Build Skills & Experience for Work

Depending on your goals, we can help you build job-ready skills, consider relevant training and gain practical experience that strengthens your resume and prepares you for the workplace.

Work Through Barriers to Employment

Sometimes there is more standing between you and a job than your resume. Your Youth Adviser can help identify what is holding you back and connect you with practical support or other local services where appropriate.

Beenleigh has employment opportunities across a broad mix of industries, including retail, health care and social assistance, manufacturing, accommodation and food services, and public administration and safety.

Our local team can help you understand where your skills and interests could fit, then look at the jobs, training, apprenticeships or other pathways that could help you get there.

How TURSA Helps You Get Job-Ready

TURSA’s Youth@Werk model gives you six clear steps from your first conversation through to starting work. Each stage is shaped around your strengths, goals and the support you need.

Connect

We start by getting to know you. Your Youth Adviser will talk with you about where you are now, what you enjoy, what you are interested in and what you would like to achieve.

Discover

Together, we look at what you are good at, what interests you and the types of work, training or study that could suit you.

Ignite

Once you have a direction, we help you turn it into a practical plan. Together, you will set a few clear goals and work out what needs to happen next.

Activate

Start building the skills and experience employers are looking for. This may include workshops, short courses, workplace skills training, work experience and connections with other support services where needed.

Review

As you progress, we keep checking what is working and what may need to change. We can also help strengthen your resume, improve your interview skills and prepare you for job opportunities.

Placement

When you are ready to start work, we will help you make that move and continue supporting you for up to 26 weeks after you start. Your Youth Adviser can also help you work through any concerns that come up as you settle into your new role.

Transition to Work FAQs

What Is Transition to Work?

Transition to Work is a Workforce Australia employment service for young people aged 15 to 24 who need extra support moving into employment or education.

The program can help you develop practical workplace skills, connect with education or training, find local employment opportunities and access relevant community services. It can also support pathways into apprenticeships and other forms of training.

TURSA delivers Transition to Work with a focus on helping you move towards a job that can work for you long term.

Rather than handing you a list of vacancies and sending you on your way, your Youth Adviser works with you to identify your goals, build a plan and keep moving towards them.

Am I Eligible for Transition to Work?

Transition to Work is designed for young people aged 15 to 24.

Eligibility also depends on your individual circumstances, including factors such as your residency or visa status, education, recent employment, income support and whether you are already participating in another employment service.

That can sound like a lot to work out yourself.

If you are unsure whether you qualify, contact TURSA today. Our Beenleigh team can discuss your circumstances and help you understand whether Transition to Work is the right service for you.
