Young people: Finding their way in a new era - Policy forum

Melbourne Park Function Centre
10 November 2009

How well do young people make the transition between school to further study or work? Past research has shown that young people fare less well during economic downturns. In light of the current economic climate, this policy forum aims to explore how best to prepare young Australians aged 15 to 24 years for the road ahead.

Drawing on current research, this event seeks to inform policy-makers about the lives of young people, with a focus on improving education outcomes, providing skills for the contemporary labour market, and social engagement.

Keynote speaker
Adam Smith, Chief Executive Officer, The Foundation for Young Australians

Presented by NCVER & the Australian Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations
