For school leavers in Sydney, the transition from classrooms to workplaces can be both exciting and daunting. At Breakthru, we recognise the importance of this transition and offer tailored assistance to help young people prepare for the world of work.
If you are a young adult with a goal of gaining employment and have or are applying for a NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) plan, contacting one of our Sydney offices could be the first step towards starting your career with confidence.
However, we understand that not every school leaver has the exact game goals. Whether you’re eager to gain employment straight away, develop new skills, gain nationally recognised qualifications, or explore your career options, our dedicated team is here to support you every step of the way.
At Breakthru, we provide a large range of services, including School Leaver Employment Supports that are designed to equip school leavers with the skills and confidence needed to thrive in the workforce, such as:
Personalised Guidance: Our team works closely with school leavers to understand their unique needs and employment goals, offering tailored support every step of the way.
Foundation Skills Development: From communication to time management, we focus on building essential job skills that are crucial for success in today’s work environments.
Practical Training: Through our nationally recognised qualifications programs, we offer hands-on training and learning opportunities to help school leavers gain practical experience and prepare for real-world work environments.
Employment Support: Whether it’s resume writing, interview preparation, or job search assistance, our team is here to help school leavers gain meaningful employment.
Capacity Building: Our early intervention approach emphasises capacity building, empowering young people to develop the confidence and motivation needed to pursue their employment goals.
Life Skills Training: Beyond job-specific skills, we also provide training in personal presentation, money handling, and everyday life skills to ensure school leavers are well-equipped for success in all aspects of their lives.
Working with Breakthru means you’ll be learning skills in your local community, whether you’re about to finish school or have already finished and are looking for employment supports.
Choosing Breakthru for your support when you live in Sydney also means that you can take advantage of the fact that we have various office locations available across the city. We have locations in Parramatta, Milsons Point, Hornsby, Maroubra, Campsie, Bankstown, Belmore and Rydalmere to choose from for in-person support that is as convenient as possible for you.
Benefits of our school leaver employment supports include:
SLES is a dedicated funding program aimed at assisting school leavers in preparing for employment. It provides support for up to two years to help school leavers gain the skills and experience needed to succeed in the workforce.
To access SLES, participants must be eligible for an NDIS plan with specified employment goals. Our customer service team can assist in navigating the application process and accessing the necessary support.
The SLES program focuses on building a range of job skills, including communication, time management, personal presentation, and money handling, and it also provides support for everyday life skills.
