Year13 and YouthSense’s primary skill is recognised in our ability to create awareness, communicate and engage with our youth audience.
In 2016, Year13 and YouthSense brought forth its first Youth Engagement Summit; YES16, which focused on providing the tools and resources to the VET, Tertiary Education, Career Advice, Employment and Government sectors that are needed when engaging with young people. As a result Year13 and YouthSense’s work with clients in these industries facilitated in providing a common language, approach and tools that can be used to better engage, therefore delivering a better tomorrow for Australia’s youth.
The day was largely successful for both Year13 and YouthSense but also for all those who attended the day. Held at the Australian Technology Park – Bay 6 – Eveleigh, Sydney, NSW, was a prodigious event space, that was reflective of Year13 and YouthSense’s brand as the venue is highly focused on employment, industry training and career advice.
