NATIONAL YOUTH TRANSITIONS
COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE
COLLABORATION WITH
THE NATION'S BEST PROVIDERS
AT A GLANCE
- Share complementary expertise and experience to refine evidence-based service model
- Cross pollination of ideas
- Leverage business and community expertise
Our Collaborative Approach
How it Works
The National Youth Transitions Community of Practice is a national network of youth services providers who are committed to working collaboratively – with the business sector, government, local communities and young people themselves – to find sustainable employment for young Australians experiencing disadvantage.
- Share complementary expertise and experience to trial and refine an effective, evidence-based service model for moving young people into sustainable employment
- Participate in an action research evaluation and ‘cross-pollination’ of ideas to ensure that learnings inform ongoing adaption and improvement
- Leverage business and community expertise and effort through Community Investment Committees to drive economic development for young people at a local and national level
Why it Works
The Youth Transitions CoP Model offers young people what they most need to move into work: personal, social and practical employability skills, andopportunities to explore the world of work, build networks and gain the experience that employers value.
With our Community of Practice Model, we commit to working in a different way. We collaborate with local community agencies rather than competing with them, in order to test, improve and demonstrate a mutually beneficial model that moves young unemployed people into sustainable employment pathways.
