Youth Participation Benefits

When you join our program, we assess your skills and abilities to determine your strengths and areas for improvement. We then provide personalized training to help you develop the skills you need to be work-ready and advance in your career. We then match you with work experience opportunities, such as internships or on-the-job training, to gain hands-on experience and build your skills in a real-world setting.

Once you participate in our program, you are guaranteed a minimum 12 months of ongoing support and guidance from our CareerLink Advisors. The program also offers structured work experience. These work experiences may be paid or unpaid, depending on your specific needs. The work-based placements can be in the private for-profit sector, non-profit sector, or public sector.

Through these work-based learning opportunities, you gain valuable exposure to the working world and its demands. You have the chance to develop the personal attributes, knowledge, and skills needed to secure a job and advance in your career. This helps you become more confident and prepared for the workforce.
