Re-engagement Project
Queensland Census of Services for Young People that are Disengaged from Education, Training & Work
Friday, 09 May 2008

As part of our Re-engagement Project, YANQ wants to find out exactly what's 'out there' for young people who are not currently participating in education, training or employment.  Before we can find our way from re-engagement services that are patchy and inconsistent to services that are widely available and effective we first need to develop a clear map of what's available for this group of young people.

So, If you think disengaged young people count, then help us spread the word about this Census so we can get a clear picture about what's out there now, and what could and should be 'out there' tomorrow.

.. and Notes on Terminology in the Sector

YANQ is currently conducting research into the issue of young people's disengagement and reengagement with education and training in Queensland.  As part of this project, attendees at the March meeting for the Multicultural Youth Network of Queensland (MYNQ) were presented with draft copies of a survey tool designed to collect data from and about the multicultural sector to gauge need and opinion on reengagement research and advocacy. While the main purpose of disseminating the draft survey through the MYNQ group was to obtain feedback from the attendees on the tool itself, the MYNQ group also discussed YANQ's reengagement project in general. The following is an outline of the MYNQ group's comments, relating both to the survey tool, and to the topic in general.
