Workplace Learning is dedicated to supporting young people as they move from school into further education, training, or employment—through practical programs, strong partnerships, and community-focused initiatives that open doors to meaningful career opportunities.

CREATING OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
Illawarra Schools Workplace Learning Program Incorporated (Workplace Learning) has been a trusted provider of services to young people since 1997.
We provide services and programs that increase individual employability skills. Through coordination, advice and mentoring, we give young people the highest change of success in the transition from school to the workforce.
This includes identifying existing skills and career interests, as well as any barriers to engaging in education, training or employment. We are a not-for-profit locally-based organisation servicing the Illawarra, Southern Highlands, Shoalhaven, South Coast and Far South Coast, with offices in Albion Park and Nowra.
