WithYouWithMe’s Youth Employment Program supports young people to find work in the fast-paced tech sector.

Supporting young people to land their first tech job

No experience required

WithYouWithMe’s Youth Program provides support for young people aged 16 – 25 years to secure high-paying, high-demand tech roles by providing free role matching, tech training opportunities and job placement at leading employers.  
 
Many young people are discouraged from entering the workforce as they lack the work experience required for entry-level roles or don’t have a university degree.  
 
We believe in potential over experience – and that as ‘digital natives’, young people have a natural propensity to excel in tech careers. In fact, our research shows that more than 80% of Gen Z individuals have above average tech skills before undergoing any training.  
 
If you’re a young person looking for work in the tech sector, sign up to our Youth Program today. We’ll help you find your ideal digital career and build the skills and confidence you need to secure sustainable employment. Once you've completed your training, you'll gain access to exciting career opportunities across our partner network.

We know landing your first tech role can be daunting – and are here to guide you to make the process easy and stress free.

The first step is to take our online self-paced assessments, which will generate a comprehensive report covering your unique skills, aptitude, preferred learning style and ideal cultural fit.

From there, we’ll recommend the high-demand tech roles you’re best suited to – and your training begins. Everything is self-paced and you can expect to receive certification in around 150 hours.

Once you’ve completed your training, a member of our Career Success team will be in touch to take you through available opportunities and help you prep for interviews. No resume required!

If you are ready to see what tech roles await you, sign up to our Youth Program today.
