For Youth
At the Schools Industry Partnership we aim to ensure all young people have a sucessful transition from school to work or further education. We are a non profit organisation and work with schools, TAFEs, UNIs and a wide range of other organisations to achieve this aim. If you have any difficulty finding the right assistance for your situation please give us a call and have a chat.
Pathways Connect is an online system to manage Work Placements.
Teachers can view the calendar and request a week for Work Placements.
New Students can register and give us preferences and information so we can seek out the best opportunities for you, and create the legal paperwork you will need before you meet up with your Host Employer.
