Aim - To build links between businesses, students, teachers and the broader school community through activities that increase knowledge and opportunities for careers and further education.
The ASP encompasses a suite of activities that benefit all young people including Indigenous young people, young people with a disability, young people 'at risk' of not making a successful transition through, and from school to further education and employment, and those with all levels of academic achievement.
Adopt a School projects will connect businesses with students through hands-on learning activities that will increase knowledge about training and career opportunities in a variety of industries, including in skills needs areas.

The CTS Programme aims to facilitate delivery of
enhanced career and transition support to young people aged
13-19 years, and to assist all young people to make a smooth
transition through school, and from school into training, employment,
or study.
The primary role of LCP’s under the CTS Programme
is to facilitate access for young people to a range of career and transition
support services which link with and complement existing programmes
and services at the local LCP Service Region level. LCP’s will
typically have a facilitation role, rather than directly delivering
services to individual students and young people.
LCP's must consider existing career and transition
support services being delivered.

& Transition Support Programme.
