Youth Employment Services

Job Placement Employment Training (JPET)

JPET works with young people aged between 15 and 21 and aims to provide assistance with accommodation, juvenile justice issues, employment, education and training to young people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.

JPET can help young people to get back on track and deal with the issues that impact on their ability to participate in work or training. A worker is linked to each young person and provides support and advocacy about Centrelink, opportunities, choices and accommodation.
