NCVER Policy Forum

Young people: Finding their way in a new era

How well do young people make the transition between school to further study or work? 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.

The keynote presentation will be given by Adam Smith, CEO of the Foundation for Young Australians.

Those with an interest in youth transitions research and policy will not want to miss this event!
