The Youth Connections program is funded by DEEWR and is part of the response made by the COAG and the Compact with Young Australians to provide young people with support to stay in or return to an education or training pathway. Worklinks is delivering this Youth Connections program in the Moreton Region which encompasses Deception Bay, Redcliffe, Bribie Island, through to Caboolture and Pine Rivers.

Youth Connections will provide a flexible, individualised and responsive service to assist young people between 14 and 18 years of age who are most at risk of disengaging from education or training and therefore not attaining Year 12 or equivalent and not making a successful transition to further study, training or work.

Youth Connections will offer a continuum of service so that these young people at risk can access the help they need. Service will be flexible and seamless and will reflect the young person's personal situation and circumstances aiming to build resilience and improve the personal skills and well being of the young person.

Worklinks will provide youth focused innovative activities for young people with the aim of finding, connecting with and engaging severely disengaged youth. The Youth Connections service delivery will focus strongly on achieving outcomes for young people, which include personal development, connection with and progression through education and relationships with other stakeholders.
