Starting a new life in a new country is a challenge. Young refugees and migrants often need extra help and support to become and stay connected in their new community.
Youth Transition Support (YTS) services help young humanitarian entrants and eligible migrants aged 15 to 25 to take part in work and education, strengthen vocational skills and build social connections and confidence through sporting programs.
YTS services:
- improve workplace readiness
- create strong education connections to support ongoing engagement
- give access to vocational opportunities
- create strong social connections through education and sports engagement.
Service providers deliver different projects and activities for participants. This includes connections with local employment services and jobs, and vocational or other further education opportunities.
The department is funding YTS services to 30 June 2026.
