You are a practical source of information, encouragement and constructive suggestions.
Young people can use Job Jumpstart by themselves or you can use the website to find resources and information to support their job search.
On the Job Jumpstart Toolbox page you will find fact sheets, tips sheets and workbooks. The resources cover six areas:
- Job search strategy
- Applying for jobs
- Knowing about jobs and employers (labour market demand)
- Knowing what young job seekers want and can offer (labour market supply)
- Networking and personal presentation
- Work experience
As they work through the Job Jumpstart resources, young people will develop and apply practical work-related employability skills in communication, planning and organising and self-management.
