Youth Connections

Regional Training Services has Youth Connections offices in Albany, Broome, Bunbury, Esperance, Kalgoorlie, Busselton, Manjimup, Kununurra and Halls Creek.

Youth Connections helps young people aged 13 to 19 who are most at risk of disengaging or who are already disengaged from education or training to achieve their goals.

Youth Connections supports these young people to finish Year 12 or its equivalent and to help them make a successful transition into further education, training or work.

Youth Connections offers a range of services so that all at risk young people can access the help they need.
