How does the program work?
Link & Launch officers connect with young people who have completed Year 12 but not yet transitioned to further study, training or work. These officers can assist young people to navigate a range of post-school study, training and work options in line with their individual goals, aspirations, skills and strengths and support them to make independent choices that will equip them to make a successful transition. Some of the options students may consider through the program include:
- Skilling Queenslanders for Work training or subsidies
- Disability Employment Services
- Alternative entry to university
- Alternative entry to TAFE
- Transition to Work, Workforce Australia and other federal workforce participation programs
- Employment including Traineeships and Apprenticeships
