YEP's primary focus is on building a young person's strengths, resilience and independence while assisting them to engage in a range of education, employment and training opportunities. Our service is directly linked to participant need, supporting young people aged 17-24 to identify their life and career choices and the range of steps needed to successfully achieve their aspirations. We run a ran
ge of activities, individual and group based, that seek engagement through encouragement rather than compliance. We can provide case management support on an individual basis with personal mentoring to face and overcome life issues, link clients up to education and training including literacy and numeracy support, coordinate work experience activities for clients as well as enable individuals to experiment in non-industrial employment areas such as the arts and music. YEP is co-funded by the Australian Government Department for Employment and the Department of Further Education, Employment Science and Technology through Regional Development Australia.
