YearBeyond -
Cultural Affairs and Sport
The YearBeyond Programme addresses youth unemployment and our reading crisis.
It is a transversal, whole-of-society project that provides young people with work experience, personal and professional skills, and supports the pathway into studies or work.
COVID challenges notwithstanding, YearBeyond has grown in response to the deepening challenge. In 2020 the programme provided opportunities to just over 500 youth. In 2021 it doubled, to 984 youth and in 2022, the programme trebled providing opportunities to 3 084 young people.
