With WA’s idyllic climate and beautiful wide streets perfect for outdoor entertainment, it’s hard to imagine that once upon a time enjoying a cup of coffee on the pavement was banned. The latest case study from the Committee for Perth examines the introduction of alfresco dining. Read the Case Study Here
There has been a significant shift in the behaviour of young people over the past decade, according to the latest report from NCVER’s Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY). LSAY charts the lives of a group of young Australians as they leave school, enter further study or the workforce and make the transition into adulthood. It compares the results of the group that commenced the study in 2009, who were age 25 in 2019, with the 1998 cohort who were age 25 in 2009.
The proportion of 25-year-olds who completed a university qualification increased from 41% to 52% over the decade, while those with a VET qualification fell from 55% to 46%. Those in apprenticeships and traineeships slipped from 25% to 17%. The report also shows young people are finding it harder to secure full-time work and completing their post-school study at a later age and, as a result, working while studying for longer periods. Unemployment and underemployment are exacerbated by a lack of work experience and a lack of qualifications that match job opportunities. See the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth: Life at 25: then & now The National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) had a busy month in, with the 29th 'No Frills' conference held online for the first time between 7 and 10 July, and the release of research and teacher resources. The conference theme was: Workforce ready: challenges and opportunities for VET.
