Amber is a Global Voices National Scholar. Her policy paper focuses on Ensuring secure employment for all young Australians.

Executive Summary

Youth access to secure employment is crucial for economic resilience, wellbeing, and life opportunities. However, not all Australian youth can gain secure employment following education or training. To ensure all young Australians have access to secure employment, this paper recommends:

(1) Improving the marketing and consultation processes of existing initiatives that aim to improve youth employment to address young people lacking awareness of existing services that aim to increase youth access to secure employment

(2) Ensuring youth are employable in future workplaces by providing upskilling courses and ensuring education institutions are matching employers’ needs.
