Youth employment coaching

Youth employment coaching helps young people with disability transition from school to work or further study by building job-ready skills through work experience, industry visits, and hands-on training.

Youth employment coaching is for people with disability aged 25 or under. You might have already finished school or be close to leaving school.

Our friendly youth employment coaches will get to know you and build your work ready skills. This might be getting ready for interviews, writing cover letters, CVs and resumes, looking for jobs, practicing workplace communication and getting better at customer service. You will also get the chance to visit different workplaces and try different jobs, so you can see what it is really like.

Our youth employment coaching supports you to connect with employers, explore what work is like in fields you are interested in, apply for jobs, and build up the skills employers look for. We will support you to follow your path and find adventure in the world of work.

Our friendly youth employment coaches will support you to build the skills and confidence to manage everyday life and relationships. This includes self-control and behaviour management, goal setting and resilience, confidence and strengths building, active listening and social skills, healthy relationships, consent and respect, anger management and mental health awareness, and decision making and adapting to change.

Our friendly youth employment coaches will support you to learn the essentials for thriving in the workplace. This includes customer service and teamwork, workplace communication and respect, time management and daily routines, travel training and public transport, road safety, work health and safety (WHS), diversity, inclusion and your rights, and financial literacy and understanding wages.

Our friendly youth employment coaches will support you to get hands-on experience across a wide range of industries. Some examples are hospitality and retail, childcare, aged care and disability care, healthcare and cleaning, factory, warehousing and office administration, landscaping, gardening and security, sport, recreation and entertainment, travel, tourism and transport and apprenticeships and traineeships.

Self-funded when you pay for services with your own money. This gives you the flexibility to access the supports you need, like when you have a one-off request, or if your NDIS funding does not cover what you need. You can also self-fund supports while you wait for a funding package to be approved. Sometimes self-funded is called fee-for-service.

Yes. Youth employment coaching is the same thing as school leaver employment supports. We call it youth employment coaching because it’s not just for people who are getting ready to leave school or have recently left school. Our youth employment coaching is for anyone aged 25 or under.
