🚫 Myth: If you’re not in a job straight after school, you’re falling behind.
✅ Truth: There is no “behind” - there’s just the right pace.

For many school leavers, jumping straight into employment isn’t realistic, and it shouldn’t have to be.

Launchpad is about building skills, confidence and real-world experience before stepping into work.

Because preparation builds success.
Pressure doesn’t.

What a special moment for our Launchpad participants 🎬

Last week we had the chance to watch Over (or How to Save the World), starring one of our own participants, James.

The film made us laugh, touched our hearts, and explored some deeper themes in a really thoughtful way. It’s no surprise the film has been touring the short film festival circuit for the past two years — an incredible achievement given many of these festivals are invite-only. Just last weekend it screened at the Stellar Short Film Festival, where James received a Special Mention for his performance.

Our participants loved the film and were so proud to see James on screen. It was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when people are given the opportunity to share their talents.

A proud moment for the entire Launchpad community 🧡

At Launchpad, learning doesn’t stop when school finishes. 🚀

Through Launchpad, school leavers step into real workplaces, build practical skills and grow confidence out in the community.

From workplace walk-throughs to hands-on experiences, it’s all about learning by doing - not just talking about it.

Every new experience builds independence, direction and belief in what’s possible.

What happens in Launchpad (SLES)? 🚀

A lot more than talking about jobs.

And yes, there’s plenty of fun along the way too 😁
