Youth employment services
CoAct offers flexible and individualised employment services to young Australians
CoAct provides specialist support for young people with little to no work experience as they prepare to find and interview for a first job. We work side by side with young job seekers, working to identify their interests, skills, and unique needs, exploring career and training pathways that align with their employment goals.
Our national network of youth employment specialists connects young people with employment, training and education opportunities. First, we listen, then we put a personalised plan in place to help each young job seeker achieve the employment goals identified for their future.
Tailored support looks different for everyone and can include:
- Job search assistance
- Local job market knowledge-sharing
- Help with resume writing
- Job interview preparation
- Mentoring and confidence building
We’re passionate about helping young people find work through Australian Government programs such as Disability Employment Services (DES), Workforce Australia, Workforce Australia – Transition to Work.
