The Youth Transition Services is a new service in
Waitakere. It is being introduced by Government, through a
service contract managed by Work and Income to ensure
Waitakere’s young people are encouraged to develop
aspirations for their future, know the necessary steps to
get there and, if needed, are supported, to set out on their
chosen path. This service is being delivered in Waitakere by
the
Youth Horizons Trust.

There are four key areas to the service as follows:
engaging with young people who are experiencing
difficulties with the transition from school to work,
education or training.
providing a range of customised support and guidance
services to facilitate young people in re-engaging and
setting out on pathways to sustainable career outcomes.
building better local level strategic planning
between government agencies, employers, schools,
training providers, local authorities and community
groups to raise the quality and suitability of the
opportunities and services available for young people.
adding value to existing Waitakere youth services by
supporting Waitakere based youth service providers to
develop and deliver quality services in response to
young peoples needs
