ParentsNext

Have you had a break from paid work while you’ve been raising young children? Do you feel like you’ve lost work-specific skills and the confidence to go back to work?

You’re not alone!

At Bridging the Gap, we provide parent and child friendly environments where we will work with you to achieve your parenting, work or study goals.

What we do

ParentsNext is a free government program to help parents get ready for work by the time their child turns six.

At Bridging the Gap we will meet with you to discuss your strengths, career interests, skills level and needs. We will then:

• help you identify your education and employment goals
• create a plan to achieve those goals
• provide mentoring
• help you as a parent to gain confidence and feel empowered
• refer you to local activities and service providers who can help you achieve your goals
• assist you to gain new skills 
• post-placement (education or employment)
• wage subsidies and relocation assistance to take up a job
• extensive referrals to complementary and supportive services.
