Did you know?
Australia and Australian youth face challenging times ahead. In our recovering labour market skills shortages are becoming more widespread, while youth unemployment continues to remain high. Only 61% of job vacancies were filled from June to December 2010, while 16% of Australian teenagers were not in fulltime work, education or training. One of the reasons for this disparity is that school to work transitions are becoming harder for young Australians. The pathway from school to work is no longer linear and straightforward. Jobs are no longer predictable, accessible and for life. Up to 70% of the jobs available in 2020 haven’t been invented yet. At the same time the increasing need for credentials means that young people must invest a great deal of time and money into their career before they set foot in the workplace. Now, more than ever, young people need to know about the world of work. They need industry knowledge and guidance to imagine and plan their careers and make good decisions about their future. *References: DEEWR Skills Shortages Summary, 2010; Foundation for Young Australians HYPAF Report, 2010; University of Melbourne Voice, 2010
