School to Work Transitions program

The School to Work Transitions (S2WT) program is delivering $3 million over 3 years (2022–25) to support school students who are at risk of not transitioning successfully from school to further education, training or employment, by providing tailored solutions to improve post-school outcomes.

The S2WT program has been implemented as part of the school-to-work transitions focus area of the Good people. Good jobs: Queensland Workforce Strategy 2022–2032.

Funded organisations support priority school student groups through:

• creating strong and effective school-industry partnerships across Queensland
• connecting schools, students and employers to maximise local employment opportunities and create youth-friendly workplaces
• enabling tailored assistance and support approaches to be provided to under-represented student groups.

The priority school student groups are:

• school-based apprentices and trainees
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students
• students from schools with an Index of Community Socio-educational Advantage (ICSEA) below 900
• rural and remote students
• under-represented groups in the workforce
• place-based strategies in areas with high youth unemployment and/or significant workforce strategies that could be filled by school leavers.
