RiverTracks Program
Job Experience Training (JET)
Held every Monday, our JET program is all about helping young people prepare for work, apprenticeships or further study through practical training and mentoring.
- Support finding work experience
- Youth worker accompanies participants in early days
- Builds confidence, independence and routine
Young people aged 12 to 20 who are looking to enter the workforce or seeking an apprenticeship.
“I would not be where I am now without the support RiverTracks offered me. I didn’t feel like I could focus or see the point of the things I was expected to do at school.
I used the things I learned through RiverTracks and the Big Picture program and made goals to work toward, so that I could apply for an apprenticeship.
RiverTracks arranged a placement with an employer which helped me to get an understanding of the trade, and real work in a team. It has made life so much better.”– Matt, 16 years old
