This connection resulted in the creation of a new Certificate II Civil Construction industry pathway, the only one of its kind currently offered in Tasmania\u2019s North-West, with 12 students set to enrol in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cEmployers are eager to engage,\u201d Mr Peirce said. \u201cThey get to showcase their business to their future workforce and help students understand what jobs look like in practice \u2014 what skills are needed, what work readiness means, and how to take the next step.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Youth Career Facilitator acts as a go-between, making it easier for employers and schools to connect and build lasting partnerships. For schools, it provides access to up-to-date local labour market insights. For industry, it offers a direct line to students \u2014 and the chance to shape their future workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cIt\u2019s not just about helping students choose a pathway,\u201d Mr Peirce added. \u201cIt\u2019s about giving them real-world experiences that inform their decisions. Some students find their passion. Others realise a certain job isn\u2019t for them \u2014 and that\u2019s just as valuable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program also supports schools to integrate VET more meaningfully into their offerings and encourages them to explore industry partnerships that support student engagement and progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThis isn\u2019t about parachuting in a one-size-fits-all program,\u201d Mr Peirce said. \u201cIt\u2019s about working with local schools, communities and businesses to co-design opportunities that work \u2014 for everyone involved.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Youth Career Facilitator program is part of a broader government strategy to reduce the number of young people not in education, employment or training, while also helping address workforce shortages across Tasmania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mr Peirce says the long-term goal is for this kind of school\u2013industry engagement to become business as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cIf you want to develop a renewable pipeline of talent in your region, it starts by building relationships with schools,\u201d he said. \u201cIt should be the most normal thing in the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The initiative focuses on raising awareness of VET opportunities for Year 10 students and aligning local learning with real career pathways in priority industries such as construction, aged care, disability services, agriculture, hospitality and tourism, and advanced manufacturing.
