Transition to Work (TtW)
Helping young people aged 15-24 find a job and keep it.
We give practical support to develop employability skills and understand workplace expectations.
We help you identify your strengths, aspirations, skills and any practical challenges to finding a job.
Transitioning to work is about more than just finding a job.
It's about getting the right skills and training to prepare you for work.
We’ll do this by:
- Exploring career options and the necessary training
- Supporting to gain a driver’s licence
