The JAM Project: Youth Post School Study & Work Transitions in Rural, Regional & Remote Queensland

Join us!

Post school study and work transitions are a critical juncture, where young people need access to the right supports at the right time to thrive. However, for young Queenslanders living in rural, regional and remote communities this can present with extra challenges

Join us for a workshop to discuss strengths, gaps, rubs and opportunities to enhance post school study and work transitions across rural, regional and remote communities.

Findings from this workshop will inform the TQKP Journey Access Mapping Project.

The Journey Access Mapping (JAM) Project

While many kids have access to the systems and supports they need, this can be more difficult in rural, regional and remote communities. Factors such as the tyranny of distance, limited service and infrastructure access and one size fits all policy approaches can undermine every young Queenslander having access to what they need to thrive.

The JAM project aims to map the journeys that kids and caregivers living in non-metropolitan areas take to access systems and supports to meet their wellbeing needs. By connecting current research with the voices of systems leaders and practitioners and kids and caregivers, the JAM project will provide an evidence base to inform how we might best gear our systems for every child to thrive, regardless of postcode.
