Learn more about the process and how to apply.
The School to Work Transitions (S2WT) program supports 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.
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
- First Nations 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.
