Aim of the day:

To explore how the four pillars of career and transition support can be strengthened and contribute to raising aspirations of young people in transition.

In particular the seminar will examine:

• the role of partnership in building both community capacity and social capital that can inspire and support young people; especially collaborative efforts between school, youth service,  and the third sector and business/industry.
• creative ways to engage parent’s, caregivers and other significant adults in developing the awareness and instruction of young people. To create a future – a sense of vocation; enterprise (broadly defined), self belief and purpose.
• Australian and British programs that role model “positive peer support” which can boost confidence and capability to explore values to navigate career and lifestyle options, make connection and to build bridges to new resources and opportunities.
• methods and processes that are designed to assist the most vulnerable to participate in such programs.
