If you’re about to finish high school or have recently finished, there’s no doubt you’ll be excited about what comes next.
You also may be feeling a little worried, anxious or unprepared, and that’s ok too. In fact, everyone feels that way before their first job! Our School Leaver Employment Support (SLES) service can help you feel more confident and ready to join the workforce.
