Action4Youth – a vision to create a workforce attraction, support and thrive model that can be scaled and replicated by any industry

Action4Youth is a vision to create a workforce attract, support and thrive model that can be scaled and replicated by any industry

It is the result of 20 years of applied research by many people investigating and trialing frameworks that understand the wants, needs and pain points of the people it aims to serve.

The model has three phases – EXPLORE_CONNECT_SUPPORT

It began with identifying who are the right people to bring to the table to support the vision.

It acknowledges you need place based models with resources for local solutions

The Brotherhood of St Lawrence  Foundational Capability Pathway identified the key components that form the skeleton:

  1. Young people need a breadth of skills
  2. Co-design and co-delivery – the people who directly benefit have ownership
  3. Partnerships and relationships – work with the willing

Research by the Brotherhood of St Laurence has also identified two focus areas post COVID

  1. Building employer capability
  2. Mental Health and Well Being of Young People

What does the current ACTION4YOUTH step by step plan look like

Step One. Bring the Right people to the Table 

Step Two. Follow identified best practice

Step Three. Identify and focus on the Top Three Modes of Influence

Step Four. Co-design a model that is participant ( teachers/career advisors, students, employers) centric

Step 6. CONNECT students with role models and mentors and employers

Step 7. Provide SUPPORT for students and employers to build their capability

Step 8. Engage Headspace  to support students with mental health, physical health, & managing work and study.

Step 9. Identify great work being done by others we could partner with and leverage

We have pressed the launch button and just when everything was going wonderfully the government in their wisdom moved NAPLAN from May to March 😊The things that you just cant account for in a project risk assessment 😊
