We've released the 5th edition of the School Leaver Provider Quarterly Report. The report examines the school leaver employment support delivered to 6,606 participants, their progress, and the outcomes they’ve achieved.
The report provides insights into the best practices and factors leading to successful employment outcomes based on data submitted to the Agency from January 2023 to December 2023 by providers.
Key data highlights show that:
- of the 1,831 participants who exited employment supports:
- 25% achieved an open employment outcome
- 5% achieved supported employment outcomes, formerly known as Australian Disability Enterprises (ADE)
- 11% pursued further study or volunteer work
- of those who completed employment support and obtained paid employment, 65% found work in retail, tourism, trade, manufacturing or operations industries.
Key insights show that:
- Participants who were assisted to get a job by their provider are more likely to gain paid employment.
- participants who made significant progress or fully achieved their goals in relation to developing work skills, work experience, employer engagement, and job customisation were more likely to gain employment.
- where providers spent more time engaging with employers and supporting job customisation, participants were more likely to get a job.
Outcomes by provider
- We’ve released outcomes achieved by providers of school leaver employment support from January – December 2023 to assist participants in making informed choices when selecting a provider.
