Working with service clubs, JANA Ballarat provides high quality and innovative service to both unemployed young people and employers, enhancing employment opportunities and the attainment of client goals.

JANA Ballarat has traditionally serviced youth jobseekers, providing a comprehensive youth employment support service to 15 - 24 y.o's

In the last financial year, JANA Ballarat registered more than 400 young job seekers from around the Ballarat area, from which we assisted more than 300 into employment, nearly two thirds of them through direct job placement, the remainder through provision of job seeker support and assistance.

JANA Ballarat has, due to very limited current funding levels, had to wind back its employment support service, but has initiated and is running a Youth Mentorship Service, targeting the same age range, and focusing particularly on helping at-risk youth into employment and/or further training or education through mentor support.
