Being a young adult isn't always easy. The good news is that today's world provides more job and education options than ever before...the bad news is that so many options can feel overwhelming and leave us feeling confused about what we want to do with our lives.

P.A.C.E. stands for Participation in Academics and Career Exploration and is a school-to-work transition program. P.A.C.E. provides part-time support to young adults who have just finished high school and helps them find a suitable job, or opportunities.

This Program Has Been Established to:

Assists clients determining their career and/or academic interests;
Teach clients how to find the jobs they want and apply for them;
Support clients (if needed) while they are getting either paid or unpaid work experience;
Help clients find and access educational courses in the community; and
Supports clients to set up a study schedule.

DDRC has been running the P.A.C.E. program since 1996 and has assisted more than 50 young adults in their transition from high school to the working world. Many of P.A.C.E. graduates have gone on to further their education, find work in their own areas of interest and become contributing members to the community.
