Indigenous Youth Mobility Pathways Project (IYMP)

The Indigenous Youth Mobility Pathways Project (IYMP) is an innovative project which supports young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from regional and remote communities across the nation to Dream, Learn and Lead.

Help through the project includes:

• Tailored support young Indigenous Australians need to pursue their dreams and achieve their long-term career goals. 
• Addresses and removes the barriers to education and employment providing holistic support to young Indigenous people whilst engaged in the project.
• Provides support to over 230 young Indigenous people per year across Australia.
• Indigenous youth are supported to move to an IYMP host location to participate in vocational training, University and Australian Apprenticeships. 
• Participants are supported in every aspect of life. IYMP aspires to teach all the life skills required to live an independent and meaningful life beyond IYMP support.
• IYMP cultivate First Nation leaders who inspire other young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to chase their dreams, take skills back to their home community and build the capacity of remote communities across the country.

To apply under this project, a young Indigenous person must be:

• From a remote or regional community.
• Aged between 16 and 24 years upon commencement of the project.
• Willing to commit to a suitable career pathway, work hard to achieve set goals and become a future leader.
