Youth Pathways
The Youth Pathways Programme (YPP) is an Australian Government initiative, funded by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE?
You are eligible for YPP assistance if you are aged 13 to
19 and are:
1. at risk of leaving school before completing year
12 and at risk of not making a successful transition through
school and from school to further education, training or employment
or
2. have left school in the preceding 12 months without completing year 12 and at risk of not making a successful transition to further education, training or employment.
INELIGIBLE participants include:
Those who do not meet the eligibility criteria; those who
do not have significant barriers to successful participation
in education or training; those who only need minor assistance,
career advice or interview skills and do not have personal
factors that define them as 'at risk'; those who have completed
year 12; students who have indicated that they would only
leave school (prior to completing year 12) to take up an employment
opportunity and are likely to make a successful transition;
