Youth Guarantee programmes
If you’re 16-24 years old and not at school or working, a Youth Guarantee programme is the smart way to get ahead.
Available in a wide range of subjects, these free programmes set you up with great foundation skills for employment or further study, and enable you to make confident decisions about your future.
As a Youth Guarantee student you’ll get:
- an orientation programme which includes how to access financial assistance
- transport support
- extra pastoral care
- specific cultural and learning support that’s easy to access
- career planning and advice
- regular activities with other Youth Guarantee students
- access to counselling services
- guidance as you transition into work or further tertiary study
Fees-free entitlement
Another great thing about studying a Youth Guarantee programme is that in most cases, you’ll still be eligible to study fees-free at a higher level later. If you study a Level 2 Youth Guarantee programme, your entitlement for the government’s fees-free study offer is not affected. If you study a Level 3 Youth Guarantee programme, and providing you earn 60 credits or less, you’re still entitled to fees-free study up to another 60 credits.
