School to Work Transition Project

This school-based program aims to build the capacity of at risk Indigenous secondary students aged 15 – 18 years in Logan, to improve their school attendance and engagement, and successfully transition into work, further education or training on completion of Year 12.

One on one case management and mentoring is offered, along with wrap around services delivered both inside and outside the school gate to support students and their families.
