About Yes
Welcome to Youth Employment Success. We are working towards a Darling Downs and South West Queensland region that actively engages and supports all our young people. A community that owns their unemployment issues and works collaboratively to support this important cohort.
Youth Employment Success is an online platform with selected employers from a variety of industries offering free employment-based opportunities to 16-24-year-olds. Whether you’re looking for real experience, an informal chat over coffee, or a job in the industry you're into, Youth Employment Success can help you get that break.
Youth Employment Success is a community-based initiative that offers our future workforce opportunities to upskill and gain confidence in their desired industry.
