Our Programs
In the Future Tracks program, CONNECT works in partnership with schools and Aboriginal communities to develop place-based projects to improve school engagement and expand career opportunities for young people.
CONNECT has been supporting Indigenous young people in school-based traineeships since 2009, first as part of the Aboriginal Community Pharmacy Program in partnership with the University Centre for Rural Health and TAFE NSW, then through the Indigenous Youth Careers Pathway Project, and currently through the Indigenous School-based Traineeship Program.
The Work It Out program is for young people in the Richmond-Tweed region, aged 15 to 19 who are not currently in employment, education or training. The program is designed to help young people address the barriers and challenges they are facing that may be preventing them from undertaking or engaging in employment, education and training opportunities.
"The program helped me transition from out of high school and into courses that
changed my life for the better"
