Adolescent Overload - combining work and study
Thursday, 03 December 2009 09:57

This report looks at the impact of the potentially competing demands of study and part‐time or casual employment on youth.

The report makes 13 recommendations including:

  • the development and implementation of a national generic skills passport for secondary students to document the employability skills they develop through activities undertaken outside school, including paid and unpaid work, community/volunteer activities, sporting and recreational activities and other life experiences;
  • the establishment of a national Employer of Choice for Youth program to recognise the contribution of model employers of young workers; and
  • ensuring that structured workplace opportunities are available to all students participating in school‐based vocational education and training.
