Title: Innovative partnerships for youth engagement in education and work
Abstract: In most modern OECD nations, secondary schools are required to form partnerships with a large variety of organisations, ranging from other education and training providers to community groups, businesses and associations. These schools typically manage a large number and various types of relationships with external organisations. These may include Work Placement Coordination providers, local businesses offering work placements, external vocational education providers, such as Technical and Further Education (TAFE) Institutes in Australia, and other non-educational and community institutions. This study was undertaken to evaluate the motivations underlying the formation of the partnerships, the positive outcomes these partnerships provide for students, and the difficulties they face. The data presented in this report were collected as part of a project exploring the role that partnerships play in the senior secondary school curriculum in Australia. It included the school survey conducted in 2014. The survey targeted all secondary schools that provide applied learning and VET programs (State, Catholic and Independent) across the three states, from metropolitan, regional and rural locations.
