From school to work. ![Targeted recruitment (Facebook Post) (1)](https://caspa.org.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Targeted%20recruitment%20%20(Facebook%20Post)%20(1).png?width=490&height=411&name=Targeted%20recruitment%20%20(Facebook%20Post)%20(1).png)   At CASPA we are dedicated to ensuring vulnerable young people have access to the information, skills and understanding they need to thrive into adulthood. That is why our education team offers an eight week tailored school to work transition course to assist young people aged between 15-17 to develop their employable skill set.  Educators are trained in therapeutic crisis intervention should they need to assist young people with challenging behaviours. The course can be accessed through our learning centres by appointment.  ### What does the course cover? - ![CASPA_Notepad](https://caspa.org.au/hubfs/Icons/CASPA_Notepad.svg) ##### Job search and application - ![CASPA_Mail](https://caspa.org.au/hubfs/Icons/CASPA_Mail.svg) ##### Writing a cover letter and resume - ![CASPA_Documents](https://caspa.org.au/hubfs/Icons/CASPA_Documents.svg) ##### Interview skills - ![CASPA_ShieldProtect](https://caspa.org.au/hubfs/Icons/CASPA_ShieldProtect.svg) ##### Workplace health & safety skills - ![CASPA_Q+A](https://caspa.org.au/hubfs/Icons/CASPA_Q+A.svg) ##### Workplace communication skills ![Targeted recruitment (Facebook Post) (2)](https://caspa.org.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Targeted%20recruitment%20%20(Facebook%20Post)%20(2).png?width=616&name=Targeted%20recruitment%20%20(Facebook%20Post)%20(2).png) ## The Tuckshop.
