Transport in the northern region of the Central Coast is lacking, especially between the areas of Lake Munmorah to Wyong which is why youthconnections.com.au has decided to open our doors near you. We will be located in the Charmhaven/Lakehaven area (to be announced). Transport may be available to support clients where necessary.

What's been going on 

Matthew McCaughey

'Nowhere Matt' has found where he wants to be - in radio. An on-air name he gave himself after following his passion for music and discovering his talent as a presenter, Matt received his nudge toward the microphone from TTW, who placed him in a 5 week work placement at YC Radio. Now he has completed a Presenter's Training Course with CoastFM963, a Certificat in Computer Skills and hosts his own two-hour programme, Indie Rock Cafe, every Monday night on CoastFM96.

Mark Albani

Standing on a production line at a confectionary factory in Sydney, surfaced Mark's desire to get a job outside. He studied construction as a VET subject at school, so TTW arranged multiple construction-based training opportunities including a 5-week bricklaying course with YC Industry Link and a 6-week preparation insulation course with Active Industries. Early this year Mark's acquired skills scored him a traineeship in Constructoin with youthconnections.com.au

Mel Thomas

Mel has a Certificate III in Children's Services (Disability Support) and has started a certificate III in Business Administration, as well as multiple work placements in each industry. She is certainly not afraid to try new things and when TTW suggested trying a few industries until one stuck, Mel was unstoppable. Now she works two days a week as a trainee receptionist at youthconnections.com.au's Transitions programmes based at Gosford and a day at TAFE.
