Career and Transition Support
The Career and Transition Support program helps schools to provide young people with access to good quality career development and transition support services.
It complements state and territory programs and activities by accessing and building on current local practices.
Local Community Partnerships first analyse their service region and then work with schools, industry, business and community groups to identify needs or gaps within existing services.
Under the Career and Transition Support program, Local Community Partnerships do not directly deliver services to young people. Their role is to facilitate organisations to work together to increase the availability of, access to, and the quality of, career and transition support services within the region.
To support and improve local arrangements, Local Community Partnerships may assist by:
- organising assistance for young people to help them better understand their study and work options
- promoting vocational education and training pathways
- providing access to professional career advice
- promoting and improving mentoring opportunities in the area
- facilitating better communication between parents, teachers and career advisers.
Local businesses can get involved in the Career and Transition Support program in various ways including:
- exhibiting at local career expos
- participating in mentoring programs
- offering excursions, visits or tours of their business or industry
- participating in student interview and résumé workshops
- serving as guest speakers.
