Education
Service providers can encourage participants to explore education by sharing information about:
- the Australian educational system requirements. This includes enrolment, compulsory attendance, school curriculum and other requirements of an age-based education system
- solutions to address individual circumstances
- importance of education in gaining employment.
Service providers can help support young people’s education using services including:
- help with homework or home tutoring schemes
- reinforcing classroom teaching
- support to stay engaged in education
- helping young people of post-compulsory school age to engage in alternative education, training and employment options
- referral to appropriate education, training and employment providers
- help with apprenticeships, traineeship opportunities or tertiary education
- early intervention approaches to keep students at risk of disengagement
- referral to community learning, mentoring programs, counselling services
- partnerships with schools that support enrolled students including community leaders to secure multicultural officers roles in local schools, colleges and TAFEs.
