Transition to Work (TtW) is a Workforce Australia program that supports young adults (15-24 years old) to achieve their employment and education goals.

The are-able TtW program is based around the pillars of:

  • Health
  • Social Networks
  • Education
  • Employment.

are-able is delivering Transition to Work for the South Coast of Victoria (Apollo Bay, Camperdown, Casterton, Colac, Hamilton, Heywood, Portland, Terang and Warrnambool).

Who are Employment Mentors

  • Your Employment Mentor (EM) will work with you, listening to your goals, interests and needs.
  • They’ll support you without judgement or assumption.
  • Through this collaborative approach, they’ll help you identify where you’re at, what you need, and any barriers that may impact your progress.
  • Working with you, they will develop an individualised, goal-oriented job plan.
  • Your EM will also provide ongoing support to help you track your progress.

In other words, your EM will help you figure out where you want to go, then help you get there.

About our program

With our empowerment approach, you’ll be at the centre of any decision-making. We understand that no two people have the same lived experience, which is why we structure our service and support in a way that maximises individualisation and flexibility.

TtW will not just build your work readiness, but also help you develop confidence, wellbeing, motivation, and community connectedness.
