Career and Transition Support
Under the Career and Transition Support program, Local Community Partnerships work closely with schools in their region to make sure all young people have access to a range of career development and transition support services.
Local Community Partnerships do not directly deliver services to individual students. They work with local schools, industry bodies and community groups to make it easier for young people to find and use services in their area.
Some aims of the Career and Transition Support program include:- helping young people understand their post-school options
- making it easier for students to access career advice
- promoting vocational and technical education and training
- encouraging parents, teachers and career advisers to better communicate.
The Career and Transition Support program complements state and territory strategies, programs and services. Local Community Partnerships look at the local situation and then focus on ways in which they can best support schools to build on, and improve their career and transition support services.
Many activities take place under the Career and Transition Support program including:- career expos
- mentoring programs
- career education and counselling
- parent information evenings or workshops
- excursions to local businesses and industry
- interview and résumé workshops
- guest speakers.
