What is the Indigenous Youth Employment Consultants program?
The Indigenous Youth Employment Consultants (IYEC) program provides support and encouragement for Indigenous young people aged 15 to 19 to stay in education or move into training and/or work.
Who is the IYEC program for?
The program is for Indigenous young people who:
- are not going to school
- want to continue with their education and/or training and would like extra support
- would like to join the workforce.
How does the IYEC program work?
Consultants work for Job Network providers and are found across Australia in areas where there is a good labour market. They work closely with Indigenous young people and their families, local communities and businesses, schools, vocational educational and training providers and other Job Network providers to help them stay in education or move into training and/or work.
