We know the Bundaberg region has had one of the highest youth unemployment rates in the country for some time, and the rate of disengaged job seekers is a serious issue. In June 2020 national youth unemployment hit a 23-year high of 16.4 per cent. So how can we tackle this issue?

Our Testimonials
I am so happy
The TtW program has helped me progress into what I want to do, to practice goal-setting and the incredible amount of support lets me know I’m not in this alone. If I face difficulties, I know that TtW is going to do everything in their power to help me and provide whatever assistance they can. It's been a major stress-reliever for me and has helped me on the right path on where I want to go. I’m so happy that I found TtW.

I am now doing it!
I remember reading a book and saw the words 'teacher's aide' and I circled it as something I'd really like to do. And now here I am doing it!

I'm now a better person
I don't know what I would have done with myself if I hadn't signed up for this course. I'm glad to be learning new job skills, and this course has made me a better person because I am learning how to serve.

Thank you!
The TtW team provided me with the information about courses so I did a Certificate lll in aged care/disability. I was able to get a placement and I also did a First Aid course. I'd like to thank Impact for giving me these opportunities.

IMPACT really helped me
I found it difficult to get a home because I had no rental history. But IMPACT helped us out a lot, printed out all the papers we had to sign, and they even took them in for us.
