Teachers and Youth workers work together to support students. We have classes and outreach learning options for students who are young parents, out of home care, experiencing homelessness, or who have been disengaged from mainstream education.
Our Healing Oriented Framework guides us in our trauma informed knowledge to enhance trauma responsiveness across all programs and deepens the capacity of teams and services in complex environments to provide healing oriented care.

The role is primarily responsible for supporting previous HHA students via the Alumni Program. The Careers, Pathways and Transitions team hold a shared responsibility for organising and implementing an integrated Careers and Pathways instructional program in accordance with curriculum and registration requirements.
This role will also be responsible for providing support, advocacy and guidance to students who are close to graduating or exiting to ensure a successful post-secondary transition and engagement in the Alumni program. This role will include outreach and holistic case management.
