Other Employment Assistance - Youth Pathways (YP)
Youth Pathways has been set up to help the most at-risk young people make it through school to the end of the year 12 (or its equivalent), and beyond that to further education, training or employment, and active community life. This can be either within school or in non-school-based education.
Youth Pathways aims to encourage and support young people to:
- Stay on at school or other education or training
- Get back into some form of schooling or training
- Prepare themselves to take up employment-related options
To get help from Youth Pathways, you need to be aged 13 to 19, and either:
- Be at risk of leaving school before finishing year 12 or have left school in the last year without completing year 12
- Think you'll struggle to either go back to complete your schooling or get into some sort of training or get a job.
