If you haven’t participated yet...THERE’S STIL If you haven’t participated yet...THERE’S STILL TIME! Head over to our website to complete the survey today. Let’s all make our voices heard and change the figures on youth unemployment.
Today we want to tell you about another section of Today we want to tell you about another section of the survey which is ‘THE IMPACT OF COVID-19’.

We know the last few months have been tough for lots of people for lots of different reasons – losing jobs, losing loved ones, fear of getting sick...the list goes on. But we also know that young people are likely to be hardest hit when it comes to the impact on jobs and the economy.

So our survey asks questions about how COVID-19 has impacted on your work. How has it impacted on your ability to look for work? Are you even bothering?! And how hopeful are you for your future and our future as Australians?

We are well aware that it will be young people that will find it hardest to get a job after COVID and as we start to recover as a nation.

But we need to hear from more voices to get the word out and make a real difference when this is all over.

Today we’re looking at another section of the su Today we’re looking at another section of the survey which is ‘EXPERIENCES LOOKING FOR WORK’! 

This is a really important part of our survey because we want to know more about what it has been like for you looking for work. What has been hard? What has been easy? 

We know this is often the toughest part of landing a job. But we need to get the word out about just how hard it is and what we can all do differently to support young Aussies on the job hunt.

Our survey is live and so we thought it was about Our survey is live and so we thought it was about time we tell you a little bit about the kinds of questions we ask. 

This is our first post on the different domains in our survey. 

Domain #1: Experiences at work! 

Some young people will have no previous jobs or lots of previous jobs and some will have had good experiences and some would have had some pretty terrible ones. We want to know more about all of this. So that we don't only work on job creation into the future but suitable jobs for young people.
