Indigenous Youth Career Pathways Program
The Australian Government is providing $50.7 million over four years from 2011-12 to 2014-15 for the Indigenous - Youth Career Pathways (IYCP) Program. The IYCP Program will commence from the 2012 school year and focus on the provision of school based traineeships and associated support activities to Indigenous students in Years 11 and 12 and, in some circumstances, year 10 Indigenous students.
The program will provide Indigenous students with personal mentoring and case management to help them manage issues making the move from school to work difficult. It will also be available to inspire and support other Indigenous high school students, including younger students to Year 7, to complete their schooling and then transition into further education and/or a job.
