To find the yellow brick road towards meaningful employment, young people must have access to quality training, education and support.
The JobHive project spanned 2 years working with young people to understand their experience navigating the world of work. From this, JobHive created the tools, the conversation and the opportunities for young people to uncover and amplify their own strengths and abilities; set motivating employment – related goals; create a positive and practical vision of work; write fantastic resumes and cover letters; and future proof their careers!
The JobHive Toolkit will help you build confidence, resilience and hope in an engaging and impactful way.
The JobHive Toolkit will guide you through the windy road of setting goals, undertaking training & finding meaningful work. The tools are aimed at building your own superpowers, confidence, resilience & hope.
