Title: The Australian student voice on the soft skills needed for the future : and how universities can integrate these skills into their teaching. Author(s): Oxford University Press Published: Melbourne : Oxford University Press : November 2020 Abstract: In a fast-evolving 21st century, it is becoming increasingly important for students to develop their soft skill competencies alongside the technical skills required for their career. In 2016, the World Economic Forum advised which soft skills would be most needed in 2020. This paper reviews the findings from a survey of Australian higher education students on which of these skills they believe to be the most important for future career success. It also consults eight academic experts on the importance of these skills, and how universities can integrate them into their courses and teaching. The key findings of this paper are that 88% of Australian students believe soft skills are necessary for their future career and 78% agree that soft skills will give them an advantage in the changing workforce due to technological automation. The top three soft skills Australian students believe are most needed for career success are: complex problem solving, critical thinking and creativity.

Title: TALIS 2018 : Insights and interpretations. Author(s): Schleicher, A. | Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Published: Paris : OECD : 2020 Abstract: Many nations claim that education is a top priority. There are some simple questions one can ask to find out whether countries live by that claim. For example: What is the status of the teaching profession, and how do countries pay teachers compared to how they pay others with the same level of education? Would you want your child to become a teacher? How do the media report on teachers and schools? When it comes down to it, which matters more: where a country or community stands in the sports league tables, or where it stands in the academic league tables? The value placed on education is likely to influence the decisions students make about what they want to study later on, and it will influence whether or not the most capable students consider a career in teaching. The value placed on education is also likely to have an effect on whether the public respects the opinion of professional educators, or whether it fails to take them seriously.

Title: Attracting and keeping the best teachers : Issues and opportunities. Author(s): Sullivan, Anna | Johnson , Bruce | Simons, Michele | University of South Australia | Western Sydney University Published: Singapore : Springer : 2019 ISBN: 9789811386206 (hbk) Abstract: This book challenges dominant thinking about early career teachers and their work. It offers an in-depth and critical analysis of policies concerning the work of early career teachers and how they are supported during this critical period, when they are highly vulnerable to leaving the profession. Moreover, the book provides examples from actual practice that illustrate how to help early career teachers make a successful transition into the profession. These practices promote early career teachers' development and help the profession as a whole to capitalize on the new knowledge and skills that these teachers bring to their classrooms and their students. The book is divided into two main parts. Part 1 deals with the difficult to define process of retaining early career teachers, and its respective chapters consider this broad issue from an international perspective. They explore how policies and practices have an impact on what happens in schools, and what it means to be a teacher and to teach. In turn, Part 2 focuses on the need to reconsider the policies and practices that create the 'problem' of early career teachers, and offers alternative ways forward. Each chapter addresses a specific aspect of the early career teacher retention issue, contributing to a greater understanding of how we can rethink the work of early career teachers so that they can more successfully transition into the profession.

Title: Attracting high achievers to teaching. Author(s): Goss, Peter | Sonnemann, Julie | Nolan, Jonathan | Grattan Institute Published: Carlton Vic : Grattan Institute : August 2019 ISBN: 9780987635945 (PDF) Abstract: Australia needs more high achievers in teaching. People who are good learners themselves are far better placed to teach. And as we expect more from schools, we need the best and brightest teachers, so that our students have the skills for work and life. Today in Australia, bright young people rarely see teaching as an attractive option. Only 3 per cent of high achievers choose teaching for their undergraduate studies, while 19 per cent choose science, 14 per cent health, and 9 per cent engineering. It wasn't always this way. Demand from high achievers for teaching has steadily declined over the past 30 years. Over the past decade, demand fell by a third – more than for any other undergraduate field of study. The low status of teaching has become self-reinforcing, putting off high achievers who might otherwise want to teach. By contrast, high-performing countries get many high-achieving students to apply, and then select the most promising candidates. Australia must do better. This report shows what it will take. The report includes details of a Grattan Institute survey of almost 950 young high achievers – a first in Australia. It shows that more bright young people would choose teaching if there was financial support while studying, better pay for top teachers, and better progression opportunities beyond traditional principal career paths. We recommend a bold reform package with three parts. First, offer $10,000 cash-in-hand scholarships to high achievers to study teaching. This would not cost much, but it would work fast. People who get government-funded scholarships should be required to work at government schools. Second, provide better career pathways. High achievers worry about getting stuck in the one classroom. They want opportunities to progress, and they want much higher pay that recognises teaching expertise rather than years of service. New 'Instructional Specialist' and 'Master Teacher' roles would give the best teachers extra time and extra responsibility to improve teaching within and across schools. The roles would be paid a lot more – $40,000 and $80,000 above standard classroom teachers respectively. All teachers could apply and compete for the new roles, provided they are first certified at the highest national teaching standards. Third, promote the new package through a marketing campaign. Governments should raise awareness of the new opportunities and re-position teaching as a career of choice for high achievers.

The authors recommend a bold reform package they claim could double the number of high achievers choosing teaching within a decade. They outline three key reforms that would be required, and argue that, over time, this package would transform Australia's teaching workforce, and also that the typical Australian student would gain an extra six to 12 months of learning by Year 9, possibly much more.

Title: Career construction, future work and the perceived risks of going to university for young people from low SES backgrounds : final report. Author(s): Raciti, Maria | National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE) | National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE) | University of the Sunshine Coast Published: Bentley WA : National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE) : July 2019 Abstract: The aim of this Fellowship project was to understand the interplay between career construction in the 21st century, future work, and the perceived risks of going to university for young people from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds. Making career decisions is becoming increasingly complex and fraught with risk. Perceived risks are endemic in the decision to go to university and this Fellowship project drilled down into the role of perceived risks in light of the contemporary career context where traditional ways of planning careers no longer work. We live in uncertain times with the rise of the gig economy, job automation, career mini-cycles and an erosion of the sense of security that going to university will "guarantee" access to a defined, stable occupation. With more occupations to choose from than ever before, young people experience confusion or even decision paralysis. With predictions that jobs in the future are more likely to need a university education, there is a need to accelerate efforts to increase participation of people from low SES backgrounds to prevent the further deepening of social inequalities. Indeed, stemming the deepening of social inequalities was the impetus for this Fellowship project.

Title: Career ready graduates. Author(s): Universities Australia Published: Deakin ACT : Universities Australia : 2019 Abstract: Work integrated learning at Australian universities is a win-win for students and employers. High-quality internships and work placements give university students crucial workplace skills to help them land their first job after graduation. It is essential that students are exposed to how contemporary workplaces operate so they can hit the ground running from day one of the job. These programs also give employers the opportunity to see the skills and abilities our graduates can bring to a workplace. In a competitive job market, businesses should be taking advantage of this opportunity. To assist, the Australian Government has been pleased to fund the collection of national data to highlight the scale and scope of work integrated learning activities in Australian universities. In this publication, we showcase some of the many terrific examples of work placements and career readiness experiences for students offered by Australian universities. They include incredible opportunities to get a career edge before graduation — as well as a chance for students to work on inspiring projects to strengthen local communities across the nation.

Title: Early Career Framework. Author(s): Pope, Roger | Francis, Becky | Hamer, Marie | Hutchinson, Jon | Lock, Stuart | Moore, Reuben | Scutt, Cat | Education Endowment Foundation | United Kingdom. Dept for Education and Employment Published: London : Education Endowment Foundation : January 2019 Abstract: Transforming the support and development offer for teachers at the start of their career Teachers are the foundation of the education system there are no great schools without great teachers. Teachers deserve high quality support throughout their careers, particularly in those first years of teaching when the learning curve is steepest. Just as with other esteemed professions like medicine and law, teachers in the first years of their career require high quality, structured support in order to begin the journey towards becoming an expert. During induction, it is essential that early career teachers are able to develop the knowledge, practices and working habits that set them up for a fulfilling and successful career in teaching. However, too often, new teachers have not enjoyed the support they need to thrive, nor have they had adequate time to devote to their professional development. The Early Career Framework (ECF) underpins an entitlement to a fully-funded, two-year package of structured training and support for early career teachers linked to the best available research evidence. The package of reforms will ensure new teachers have dedicated time set aside to focus on their development. Our vision is for the ECF to build on high-quality Initial Teacher Training (ITT) and become the cornerstone of a successful career in teaching.

Title: Developing entrepreneurial capabilities for the global labour market : a cross national study of IT students in the UK and Australia : research report. Author(s): Gribble, Cate | Hamilton, Margaret | Smith, Sally | Edinburgh Napier University | RMIT University | Society for Research into Higher Education Published: London : Society for Research into Higher Education : March 2018 Abstract: In Australia and the UK there is a growing emphasis on ‘entrepreneurship’ in response to challenging economic circumstances. The current focus on developing ‘entrepreneurial’ capabilities in graduates is largely driven by stakeholder and societal desire to equip students with employability skills and attributes that will prepare them for the realities of rapidly shifting labour markets and more complex and uncertain career paths. In this paper, we explore the extent to which IT students are engaging with the push towards innovation and considering ‘entrepreneurship’ as a career pathway. The study adopted a mixed methods approach of an online survey and selected interviews to examine perceived barriers and enablers to pursuing an entrepreneurial career. A key focus of the study was how sociocultural differences (gender, class, culture) influence the development of entrepreneurial capabilities. Finally, universities are providing incubators to balance requirements of students, employers and Government and we report on students’ perceptions of this initiative.

In every country, teachers’ salaries and training represent the greatest share of expenditure in education. And this investment in teachers can have significant returns: research shows that being taught by the best teachers can make a real difference in the learning and life outcomes of otherwise similar students. Teachers, in other words, are not interchangeable workers in some sort of industrial assembly line; individual teachers can change lives – and better teachers are crucial to improving the education that schools provide. Improving the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of schooling depends, in large measure, on ensuring that competent people want to work as teachers, that their teaching is of high quality and that high-quality teaching is provided to all students. This report, building on data from the Indicators of Education Systems (INES) programme, the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), explores three teacher-policy questions: How do the best-performing countries select, develop, evaluate and compensate teachers? How does teacher sorting across schools affect the equity of education systems? And how can countries attract and retain talented men and women to teaching.

Title: Career guidance : the missing link in school to work transitions. Author(s): Bowen, Gabrielle | Kidd, Eliza | Youth Action and Policy Association (NSW) | Youth Action and Policy Association (NSW) Published: Woolloomooloo NSW : Youth Action and Policy Association (NSW) : July 2017 Abstract: The transition from education to further study or employment is a crucial point in time for young people. While this transition period gives young people the opportunity to consolidate skills, develop a sense of job- readiness and make decisions about their lives and career paths, it has become increasingly difficult for young people to gain employment after leaving education and training. Factors such as the reduction of entry-level job opportunities, job automation, the casualisation of the workforce as well as disengagement from education have caused the length of the transition period for young people to increase. Effective career guidance in high schools can improve the transition from education to employment for young people, especially for those experiencing disadvantage. Benefits include increased engagement with education, improved employment prospects and an increase in social capital and wellbeing. Studies show that if young people can recall four structured career activities across their school life, they are five times less likely to be unemployed or disengaged from education or training. Despite this, approximately 50% of schools in Australia (with populations of over a 1000 students) dedicate less than $3 per student for career guidance.

Title: The new work smarts : thriving in the New Work Order. Author(s): Foundation for Young Australians Published: Melbourne : Foundation for Young Australians : July 2017 Abstract: Since 2015, The Foundation for Young Australians’ (FYA) New Work Order research series has explored the ways in which automation, globalisation and flexibility are changing the way we work, and the implications of these shifts for young Australians. Through four key reports, the research has revealed that traditional, linear career trajectories are rapidly becoming an antiquated notion. It's more likely that a 15-year-old today will experience a portfolio career, potentially having 17 different jobs over 5 careers in their lifetime. They might be self-employed, working for other people or doing both - whilst also collaborating with people on the other side of the world. Our fifth installment in this series, The New Work Smarts has analysed over 20 billion hours of work completed by 12 million Australian workers each year to predict the skills and capabilities that will matter most in 2030. The report shows that as technology reduces the need for workers to complete routine, manual tasks they will spend more time focusing on people, solving more strategic problems and thinking creatively.

Title: School experiences, career guidance and the university participation of young people from the three equity groups in Australia. Author(s): Tomaszewski, Wojtek | Perales, Francisco | Xiang, Ning | University of Queensland. Institute for Social Science Research | National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE) Published: Perth : National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education (NCSEHE) : March 2017 Abstract: University participation is a strong predictor of labour market success, personal health and wellbeing, and positive familial and social outcomes. However, in contemporary Australia there remain large differences in university participation rates between young people from advantaged and disadvantaged backgrounds. In this report we leverage contemporary longitudinal data for a representative Australian sample of students and employ event-history regression models to examine the associations between equity group membership (coming from a low socio-economic background, non-English-speaking background or a regional/remote area), school factors (career guidance and school experiences), and students’ likelihood to enrol into university. We find evidence that equity group membership reduces the likelihood of university participation (except for non-English speaking backgrounds), whereas receipt of career advice and positive school experiences increase such likelihood. Importantly, school factors more strongly predict subsequent university participation amongst young people from equity groups. These findings are important and policy-relevant, as they suggest that policy initiatives aimed at improving school factors will result in expanded university enrolments, and smaller enrolment gaps between young people from advantaged and disadvantaged social strata.

Title: Why choose teaching : a matter of choice : evidence from the field. Author(s): Alexander, Colette | Colbert, Peta | Du Plessis, Anna | Hand, Kirstine | Wang, Jin | Wyatt-Smith, Claire | Australian Catholic University | Queensland College of Teachers Published: Brisbane : Queensland College of Teachers : June 2017 ISBN: 9780980364538 (pdf) Abstract: Significant federal government policy-driven reform of initial teacher education in Australia is currently underway. Broadly speaking, the reforms bring together a dual focus on standards, evidence and the impact of initial teacher education on student learning. It is in this crucible of change that a project was commissioned by the Queensland College of Teachers (QCT) to investigate the motivations for choosing teaching as a first or subsequent career, satisfaction with teaching and intentions for continuation in the profession, the key influences on decisions to enter teaching, and career aspirations of teachers. In order to inform recruitment strategies, participants were also asked to identify reasons for people to consider teaching as a career in Queensland. The report presents previously unavailable empirical evidence of what teachers in Queensland have to say in response to a key question : Why choose teaching? The analyses and discussion make available new insights into the factors that influence the choice of teaching as a first or subsequent career. The report provides a foundation for a longitudinal investigation of who chooses to enter teaching, the impacts on the choice, and trends in the status of teaching over time. The authenticity of the report is rooted in its close connectedness to the workplace and workforce, focusing on currently registered teachers in Queensland, Australia. A starting proposition for the investigation was that quality education in schooling and teacher workforce planning are interconnected. A related proposition is that there is potential benefit in focusing directly on practising teachers' voices to inform workforce planning and efforts to promote teaching as a career of choice.

Title: The new work mindset : 7 new job clusters to help young people navigate the new work order. Author(s): Foundation for Young Australians Published: Melbourne : Foundation for Young Australians : 2016 Abstract: This report continues the conversation on how to reconceptualise the future of work. So much of the existing information available to young people paints an incomplete picture: lists of the top 10 jobs of the future, the industries or roles that are predicted to grow most quickly, or the advanced digital skills they will require. There are more than 1,000 different occupations in Australia. Many of these jobs are related in the sense that they involve similar skills, day-to-day tasks and work environments. By using a first-time methodology for analysing millions of job advertisements, these occupations can actually be grouped into just seven 'clusters of work': the generators; the artisans; the carers; the coordinators; the designers; the informers; and the technologists. The report seeks to help shift the mindset around work by asking and answering a number of career-shaping questions. What are the new clusters of work, Which job cluster could a young person choose, How do they gain work experience, What skills does a young person need to build a career moving through these clusters and Which jobs have promising future prospects.

Title: What do we know about early career teacher attrition rates in Australia? Series: (AITSL Spotlight). Author(s): Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) Published: Melbourne : Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL) : 2016 Abstract: There is a perception in Australia that there is a high attrition rate of teachers both during their initial teacher education (ITE) and within the first five years of graduation from ITE. If this is correct, there are implications for governments that fund ITE and staffing implications for education sector employers and schools. The impact of attrition may be the loss of quality teaching graduates, which could in turn impact the development of a strong workforce of experienced, high calibre teachers – critical for student outcomes.

We estimate a model of educational choices, in which the anticipated cost of choosing a given stream depends on the skills in each subject and is allowed to differ between boys and girls. Using a cohort of French pupils, we show first that choices at grades 10 and 12 are driven by expected future earnings and second, that boys and girls value differently their test scores when choosing study paths. Differences appear less on major choices, but rather in the degree of selectivity. Generally, girls place less value than boys on their test scores in subjects that are relevant for the chosen field of study. In particular, girls under-estimate their skills in Sciences when choosing the most prestigious and competitive pathways.

Women have increased their representation in employment since the mid-1990s, but significant patterns of gender segregation remain, especially the under- representation of women in senior positions. In order to understand these issues, this project undertook a detailed analysis of the university sector, with particular focus on contrasting pressures from entrepreneurial developments and advances in equity policies. The aim of the project is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the gendered nature of employment, working conditions, and career patterns of university staff, with emphasis on key points in the career life cycle. The project covered three groups of university staff: professional staff, academic staff, and casual academic teaching staff. Its ultimate aim is to provide insights which will assist universities and professional associations to devise practical strategies to promote gender equity in universities.

This book represents a timely and important contribution to career development as it seeks to meet the needs of increasingly diverse client groups. Part 1, Foundations strongly positions qualitative career assessment in its historical, philosophical, theoretical and research contexts. The book is innovative by considering qualitative career assessment through the lens of learning. Part 2, Instruments, presents the first collation of chapters on a comprehensive range of qualitative career assessment instruments and processes written to a standard format to enable readers to compare, contrast and evaluate approaches. Part 3, Using quantitative career assessment qualitatively, mitigates against depicting an unnecessary divide in the field between quantitative and qualitative career assessment by considering their complementarities. Part 4, Diverse Contexts, considers qualitative approaches to career assessment in contexts other than able western, middle class settings. Part 5, Future Directions, reflects on the chapters and poses suggestions for the future. With high profile authors from nine different countries, the book represents a truly international contribution to the field of career development. In its focus on qualitative career assessment, this book holds a unique position as the only such text and will therefore assume an important place in the libraries of researchers, academics, and career practitioners.

Title: Career development : defining and measuring quality. Author(s): Gillis, Shelley | Leahy, Mary | Polesel, John | Rice, Suzanne | University of Melbourne. Melbourne Graduate School of Education | University of Melbourne. Melbourne Graduate School of Education Published: Parkville Vic : University of Melbourne. Melbourne Graduate School of Education : February 2015 Abstract: The University of Melbourne was engaged by the New South Wales (NSW) Department of Education and Communities (DEC) to: undertake an extensive literature review to identify best practice indicators of quality career advice within school contexts; determine to what extent existing data available from within the three data collection programs within the DEC (i.e. the Expectations and Destinations of NSW Senior Secondary Students Survey, the Student Pathways Survey and the annual Online School to Work Program reporting) can be re-analysed to provide evidence of 'quality career advice' in accordance with the best practice indicators identified; and recommend further strategies and actions DEC should consider to adequately respond to the NSW Legislative Assembly Public Accounts Committee's recommendation that, by June 2015, DEC conduct an evaluation of the quality and appropriateness of career advice provided in schools. The body of this report is divided into four sections. Section 1 provides an introduction and describes the rationale for the study. Section 2 provides a comprehensive review of Australian and international literature on quality career development provision. After defining the key concepts, the benefits of career development provision are documented. This is followed by a detailed discussion of quality, identifying best practice at the system and school levels and documenting the indicators/competencies at the school and student levels. Section 3 maps the instruments from the three major NSW studies against these indicators (school level) and competencies (student level). The five step process involved a content analysis of individual items and the extent to which they correspond to the indicators/competencies. This mapping exercise reveals the extent to which a re-analysis of existing data can address the Public Accounts Committee's recommendation and Concluding the report, Section 4 summarises the findings and suggests future directions.

A number of authors have identified the framework as one of a small number of significant innovations in the career development literature. The Systems Theory Framework of career development was developed to provide coherence to the career development field by providing a comprehensive conceptualisation of the many existing theories and concepts relevant to understanding career development. It is not designed to be a theory of career development; rather systems theory is introduced as the basis for an overarching, or metatheoretical, framework within which all concepts of career development, described in the plethora of career theories, can be usefully positioned and utilised in both theory and practice. It has been applied to the career development of children, adolescents and women. [Back cover, ed] Call Number : 331.702 PAT Record No: 361545 from Cunningham Library Catalogue

Author(s): Albion, Majella | Aubrey, Tim | Burton, Lorelle | Dowling, David | Glencross-Grant, Rex | Kavanagh, Lydia | Lowe, David | McBride, William | O'Moore, Liza | Wilkes, Janelle | Australia. Office for Learning and Teaching | University of New England | University of Newcastle | University of Queensland | University of Southern Queensland | University of Technology, Sydney Published: Sydney : Office for Learning and Teaching : 2014 Abstract: Final report from the The Get Set for Success project which aimed to address the looming skills shortage in the Australian engineering profession by better identifying the key factors underpinning student success in transitioning to engineering studies. Members of the project team came from five universities that cover the spectrum of Australian universities and engineering programs. The team compared and contrasted student self-assessment data against academic performance, using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. The key findings were that while mathematics and other relevant subject-related cognitive skills were the most important predictors of academic success, non- technical skills such as approaches to learning, interest and motivation in studying engineering, were also significant. Data from the 2012 and 2013 studies informed the development of an online engineering career appraisal tool (EngCAT) for students considering a career in engineering. The EngCAT website can be used for careers advice - it includes information and resources to help prospective students better understand their individual learning approaches, how they work in teams, and whether they have the skills and interest to pursue a career in engineering. This enhanced self-awareness will enable prospective students to seek support where needed and better manage their learning to successfully progress through their engineering program. EngCAT is an online educational resource that enables prospective engineering students to self-test their interest and motivation in engineering and make an informed choice about their career path. The EngCAT website can be used for careers advice – helping prospective students better understand their individual learning approaches, how they work in teams, and whether they have the skills and interest to pursue a career in engineering.

This report summarises the results of approximately 700 survey responses submitted by students, graduates, employers, higher education teachers and career development professionals. The research team has identified 11 themes emerging from the survey data. These themes are currently being pursued through interviews and focus groups with students, graduates, employers, higher education teachers and career development professionals. A minimum of 40 interviews / focus groups will be reported in the next version of the report. The results, interpretations and recommendations may change through the next phase of the report on the basis of these interviews and focus groups. For this reason, this version of the report is to be considered as draft. The graduate employability themes being addressed through interviews / focus groups are: (1) employment through multi-national corporations with graduate development programs; (2) competitive sport, athletes and employability; (3) entrepreneurship (graduates in start-up businesses and graduates employed by entrepreneurs); (4) government as employer; (5) private higher education and employability implications; (6) the role and contribution of higher education career development centres; (7) Indigenous employment and supports; (8) transition from secondary and employability supports; (9) employability for-profit business endeavors; (10) generalist disciplines and employability; and (11) emerging careers.

Title: Career support for researchers : understanding needs and developing a best practice approach. Author(s): Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA) | Toss Gascoigne and Associates Published: [s.l.] : Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA) : November 2012 Abstract: The purpose of this project was to gain an understanding of the needs of Australian researchers, and following a consultation process with the research community, to develop a best-practice approach to improve their career pathways. Issues were explored through an extensive consultation with researchers: through an online survey, a series of focus groups, and an invitation to leading organisations to make submissions. The survey was open to responses nationally and the eight focus groups were held in four different cities. The consultants were charged with exploring options for practical recommendations to meet the researchers' objectives as well as to support and meet individual career needs and objectives. An aspiration of this strategy is that researchers in Australia have clear and equitable pathways for career progression.

It also looks at the reasons why they decide to undertake another qualification. A combination of data from the Survey of Education and Training and interviews is used to look at these transitions in four industry areas finance, primary industry, health and electrical trades/engineering. Overall, the extent that students stay within a particular field of education depends on whether there are well defined occupational pathways within the field. This work is part of the three-year research program Vocations: the link between post compulsory education and the labour market.

Title: Career moves : expectations and destinations of NSW senior secondary students. Author(s): Marks, Gary N | Underwood, Catherine | Rothman, Sheldon | Brown, Justin | Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) | NSW Board of Vocational Education and Training (BVET) Published: Melbourne : Australian Council for Educational Research : 2011 ISBN: 9781921084867 Abstract: The purpose of the project is to examine senior New South Wales students' expected educational and occupational pathways. It specifically analysed the post-school destinations of both Year 12 completers and early school leavers (or school non-completers) in the first year after leaving school and the educational and occupational expectations of students still at school. The report documents many aspects of the school-to-work transition by gender, region, school sector and socioeconomic background. The report is based on data obtained from a representative survey conducted in late 2010 of approximately 6,100 NSW students who were in Years 10, 11 and 12 in 2009. The data also include information from parents (from one in three families) and teachers and principals at the sampled schools.
