Welcome to transition to work!
Transition to Work is a program focused on
helping you get ready for working life.
Job Centre Australia's Transition to Work
Program is available for Year 12 students who are eligible for funding
through Ageing, Disability and Home Care, Department of Human Services
(ADHC). Whilst at school the Department of Education will perform an
assessment to determine eligibility for Transition to Work funding.
Transition to Work runs for two (2) years,
once school is completed. We support our clients in gaining the skills
required to transition into employment. Our program runs for 5 days a
week from 9am-2pm, and consists of workshops, work site visits, work
experience, practical activities, pre-vocational courses such as TAFE,
as well as sporting and
recreational activities.
Our focus is preparing our clients for work. Four (4)
days a week are devoted to skills training such as hospitality,
gardening, work skills, interview skills, resume writing, pre-employment
skills, retail, computers, job search activities,
independent living skills, budgeting, travel
training, cooking, personal development, helping to obtain Learner’s
Permit, nutrition, enhancing self esteem and much more.
Job Centre Australia understands the
importance of recreation and socialising, therefore one day of the week
is set aside as a fun day, enabling the group to spend time with their
peers. For this reason, Friday’s activities involve sport and
recreation. There are many varied activities for our clients to be
involved in. Activities are decided upon by the clients, and we
endeavour to keep costs minimal.
