What the service offers

Finding employment can be difficult as a young person.

Transition to Work is an intensive support service that provides pre-employment support to young job seekers to improve their work-readiness and help them into work (including internships, apprenticeships and traineeships) or education.

• Work experience and volumetry work opportunities
• Access to local job opportunities
• Access to local community services.
• Employability and skills workshops
• Ongoing support whist you are undertaking an approved activity such as study, apprenticeship or traineeship
