A new online resource is guiding young people through important life skills.
Youth Minister Natalie Suleyman launched YouthNav in September.
“Young people have been involved in the design of this online platform every step of the way,” she said.
“The outcome is fantastic and this new resource will make a difference for young people across our state.”
YouthNav asks users about their skills with interactive prompts and helps them to understand, plan for, and succeed in getting a job, moving out of home, getting around, having their say, and managing money.
The State Government invested $750,000 in the life skills resource for 12 to 25-year-olds.
More than 160 young people were consulted during its development and provided feedback that shaped the information and topics it covers.
Financial counsellors and youth practitioners, including South East Community Links, also provided insights from working with young people.
The platform was co-designed and tested with members of the Victorian Youth Congress, an advisory group of 20 young people aged 12 to 25 that works with the State Government to embed a youth perspective in policies and decisions that affect young people.
