Project Details

“ Jobs 4 U 2” will, as a partnership between the Indigenous community and significant industry body members, address:

	Low retention rates of indigenous students
	Low participation rates of indigenous students in school-industry based programs
	Lack of access to localized employment by indigenous youth.

“Jobs 4 U 2”will develop ‘1 to 1’ plans that will see:

	Year 7 students	being exposed to jobs and employers
	Year 8 students	investigating industry sectors
	Year 9 students	exploring career paths
	Year 10 students	gaining work experience placements and after- school work

This process will realize greater connectedness of education and employment for both students and parents, providing for transferal into employment through industry links and progression to “Ladders to Success” for those continuing to Years 11 and 12. 

The  “Jobs 4 U 2”  jigsaw logo indicates that there are jobs for Indigenous students and that we just have to fit the jig saw pieces together.

“Jobs 4 U 2”is being funded jointly by the Telstra Foundation, AMP Foundation through Social Ventures Australia, VicHealth and Coles Myer Ltd.
