The ASU believes more could be done by governments, employers and the education system itself to ensure that young people are able to succeed in the transition.
It is also critical that young people know where they can receive adequate advice and information to ensure their job is not only rewarding but safe. With numerous reports of worker exploitation in the news and stories of rampant wage theft, workers knowing their rights and where to have them upheld is critical.
The transition from school to work is an important stage in life which can have a dramatic impact on a young person’s future opportunities. For that reason amongst others, the Union does not want the Federal Government to make decisions on the process without considering the views of all stakeholders.
Young people, interested community members and the Union, given our extensive experience providing assistance to young people in the workplace, all have important information to share.
