WHO ARE WE?

The National Youth Commission into Youth Employment and Transitions will bring together together expertise, ideas and experience from people in communities across Australia focusing on the issues affecting young people aged 15-25 including school retention, early school leaving, the transition from school to work, training, employment and underemployment.

The National Youth Commission into Youth Employment and Transitions is a unique collective process whereby young people and broader community can bring forward detailed ideas and solutions to challenging national issues.

It is an initiative of the national not for profit organisation Youth Development Australia Ltd.
