Pathways
Build confidence. Develop skills. Discover what’s next.
Not sure what your next step looks like?
Pathways is a free programme for young people aged 15–24 who are ready to build confidence, develop new skills, and explore what comes next, whether that’s employment, education, training, or something else.
You don’t need to have your future mapped out. If you’re looking for support, direction, and opportunities to grow, we’re here to help.
You already have strengths. Pathways helps you build on them through practical experiences, supportive coaching, and real-world opportunities.
What you’ll experience
Throughout the programme you’ll have opportunities to:
- Build confidence and self-belief
- Discover your strengths, interests and goals
- Develop communication, life and workplace skills
- Strengthen routine, independence and resilience
- Explore employment, education and training opportunities
- Connect with employers, industries and training providers
- Gain practical experience through projects and activities
- Work alongside other young people who are also working towards their goals
What to expect
Pathways is a structured programme that requires a commitment of approximately 15 hours per week. Participants engage in a mix of group activities, practical experiences, coaching, and pathway development designed to support progression into employment, education, or training.
Learn by doing
Pathways is practical, hands-on and designed to help you grow through experience.
You might take part in:
- Interactive workshops
- Group activities

- Industry visits
- Guest speakers
- Leadership and confidence-building activities

We’ll encourage you to challenge yourself, try new things, and celebrate your progress every step of the way.
Support that continues
Our support doesn’t end when the programme does.
Whether you move into employment, education or training, we’ll continue to walk alongside you, providing mentoring and guidance as you settle into your next step.
