Youth Express for Education Providers

Schools are an integral part of preparing students for life beyond the classroom.

That’s why we have teamed up with over local schools and education facilities
to provide our network of knowledge, experience and industry connections to students transitioning to employment.

Services
Tailored To The Student

Work Placement

Youth Express coordinate work placements for students all over the Hunter Valley. Work Placement is a mandatory component of thirteen industry-based vocational education and training (VET) courses, that students can choose as part of their NSW Higher School Certificate.

Career Transition & Support

We offer a range of career and transition support services to all schools in the Hunter Region. Services are designed to support Career Education and VET programs to encourage successful transitioning of students from school to further education & employment.

What Schools Say About Youth Express

“The Career Development Services offered by Youth Express have had an extremely positive impact on the students of Rutherford Technology High School. Over the last 4 years, we have worked closely with the dedicated staff at Youth Express. Through the use of the Careers Quest event and the Mobile Career Resource Unit our students have developed a vastly heightened sense of career awareness than they otherwise would have had. “

– Toby Butler, Head Teacher Vocational Education and Training
Rutherford Technology High School

“Through the Career Development Package Maitland Grossmann High School has been provided with outstanding support, assistance and guidance in career choice and opportunity for all students. The commitment of the professional personnel of Youth Express have allowed us to provide exemplary career information, motivation and access far above what schools could ordinarily provide.”

– Dr Di Soltau, Principal
Maitland Grossmann High School

“Free the child’s potential, and you will transform them into the world.”
