Dear Colleagues,

The growing rate of youth unemployment and the huge number of young people dropping out of apprenticeships and university courses has raised questions about the viability of the careers advice being delivered at our schools. Disengagement is a fundamental cross-sector challenge. Digital disruption has created a constant need to up-skill, and for our young people to develop the enterprise skills required to become competitive with overseas graduates on the local and global labour market. Australian vocational education and training must evolve to stay relevant to the future of work. We must invest in training and developing a diverse pool of young talent to keep our businesses innovative, competitive and pro�table.

I am very pleased to welcome you to join me at the 3rd Annual Future of Youth Employment Forum for 2017 as we will hear award-winning examples of partnership and collaboration that have addressed the challenges of youth disengagement and sustainability of programs and services with innovative strategies and solutions. You will hear exactly how these strategies were implemented and how to translate them to your workplace.

Kind regards,

Dale CleaverChief Executive Officer Campbell Page

9:00AM – 12:00PM I Workshop A

Developing and utilising an entrepeneurial mindset

Attend this workshop and gain practical insights on how to:Understand the key elements of entrepreneurship education, and how problem-based learning and engaged practice can be utilised to develop the employability as well as entrepreneurial skills of students.

The workshop will include the following:

• The theory behind problem-based learning and authentic activities

• The �ow of an engaged commerce class and how it differs to a textbook approach

• What additional activities help anchor and socialise learning

• Next steps to implement engaged entrepreneurship education

Richard has taught at the University of Sydney since 2006 and has grown the entrepreneurship & innovation program within the Business School to include undergrads, postgrads and executive education. There are currently over 700 students annually taking units designed around engaged, problem-based learning using real businesses and their problems. His research focuses on social and commercial entrepreneurship in Australia and Asia. He also directs a number of ventures at Sydney, including Phronesis Academy, a ground-breaking collaboration between entrepreneurs and academics teaching entrepreneurship to students aged 14-17; Sydney Genesis StartUp Program, the Remote and Rural Enterprise (RARE) Program, and is deeply involved in DFAT's Investing in Women Initiative across SE-Asia.

Adrian is an Education behavioural specialist with over 20 years’ experience working with disengaged youth in diverse and challenging communities in both the UK and Australia, including the Outback and remote Indigenous communities. His expertise in Positive Behaviour strategies (speci�cally in the Purposeful Use of Data to change behavioural outcomes and build resilience) is enhanced by his experience in Functional Behaviour Assessments and applying them to “real life” scenarios. At Esher House Adrian’s focus is how to positively engage with targeted cohorts for better Government Policy outcomes.

1:00PM – 4:00PM I Workshop B How to teach resilience: preventing disengagement by empowering youth

Attend this workshop and gain practical insights on how to:Identify and analyse the key success indicators for young people, what employers are really looking for, and how behavioural science interventions can provide outstanding outcomes compared to 'business as usual' approaches.

The workshop will cover the following Key points:

• PAWR Assessment Tool - The Psychological Assessment for Work Readiness identi�es clients whom either lack the desire, or con�dence, to genuinely seek a job and retain it. By timing interventions to an individual’s genuine readiness to change, you can greatly increase the outcomes.

• Behavioural Science - The implementation of academically evidenced interventions, proven to work on the key facets of resilience that enable clients to become proactive themselves, cope with failure, and then sustain jobs once they achieve them.

• Employment and Job Retention - Youth program 64% 18-21 year olds gained employment compared to ‘control group’ 42% outcomes. Harnessing psychology, neuroscience and behavioural economics to drive results improving youth employment and educational outcomes.
