About Gateway
Founded in 2000, Gateway provides pathways to education, training and employment for disadvantaged young people with complex problems between the ages of 15 - 28. Gateway is a long-term program where young people can learn skills, be given the opportunity to use those skills in a way recognised and valued by the community, and explore an area of employment and training they are interested in.

To achieve this takes time. We begin by providing a safe place where young people can try out different activities, have a taste of success and develop a sense of achievement. Staff are optimistic, recognising strengths and challenging program participants to explore and recognise their ambitions and talents, often for the first time in their lives.

For some young people, who will always need to manage physical and mental health issues, mainstream education and employment cannot respond to their needs.  To get these young people involved in the community, Gateway has been developing flexible, new learning and employment arrangements, and has recently been recognised as a Registered Training Organisation. 

Jesuit Social Services is also a Registered Training Organisation. Click here for qualifications and units of competency on offer.
