What flexible arrangements are available for students?
Despite the many options possible, a young person may benefit from a program that is not provided by a school, TAFE, registered training organisation or university, or a departmental employment skills development program provided by the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation. If the young person is at school, a flexible arrangement can be made, with the agreement of the young person and his or her parent or guardian. This might take the form of a month’s participation in a life skills course run by a community organisation if that is deemed to be in the best interest of the young person. In addition, the young person may participate in a non-departmental employment skills development program recognised by the Training and Employment Recognition Council.
