About 100 Ways
It takes a village! We believe the whole community has a role to play in helping young people discover their passions and realise their career dreams.
However, some young people feel disengaged from school and disconnected from their community. We can change this by helping young people find their passions, build confidence and get ‘work ready’.
All young people need industry exposure, experience, mentoring and career development opportunities. That means parents, schools, businesses and the community all working together to give young people a great start.
What can you do? There are at least 100 different ways to help young people prepare for the future including:
- Offer a Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) placement for a student undertaking a VET subject (Vocational Education & Training) at a local secondary school;
- Offer a School Based Apprenticeship or Traineeship (SBAT);
- Employ a young person;
- Host a workplace tour;
- Mentor a young person; and
- Share your career story at a local school.
The outcomes for young people are everyone’s business.
