This is particularly true for a lot of the young people we are hearing from as part of the YES survey who are worried about losing their jobs or worried about their loved ones. We hear you and we're in the same boat. Now more than ever it's time for us to band together and push forward with this important work. We are still recruiting. We are still pushing forward with the YES study. And we still want to hear from you. Watch this space for updates on the study, links to helpful resources during this time, real news and info on how to participate."
'There are disabilities you can see, like someone 'There are disabilities you can see, like someone in a wheelchair, and those you might never know about, like anxiety. We decided this could be a great opportunity to show kids and families the struggles people face on both sides, as well as challenge some of the prejudices and misconceptions people have.' A great Netflix show! Check out the link in our bio to learn more.

Happy Holidays from all of us at YES! It's been a Happy Holidays from all of us at YES! It's been a huge year for us and we can't wait to see what kind of change we can make happen in 2020! A special thank you to all the young people that have participated so far. We literally could not do this project without you! And we can't wait to keep hearing from people in the new year.

It's been a big year for the YES study! Before sig It's been a big year for the YES study! Before signing off for our holiday break, we wanted to provide you with a review of our MASSIVE 2019! 1. We launched! In the middle of the year we put our survey online so that we could hear from as many young people across the country as possible. 2. We've already had lots of people respond to the survey so far. The more people that participate the better - it means we can collect all responses and show how important employment is for young people to employment programs and to government. 3. We started a youth advisory group. This was a group of 5 young people with lots of different work and school experiences. They helped us with making sure the survey asked the right questions and we worked on creating a blog which we'll share with you soon! Keep checking in on how we're tracking in 2020. We'll continue to keep you updated on this important study!

Today is International Day of People with Disabili Today is International Day of People with Disability, #IDPWD. At YES, we’re interested in how being young when job searching or working intersects with lots of other things like gender and overlapping identities – including disability, race, religion and sexual orientation. In an effort to learn more about these interactions, the YES study is recruiting young people aged 15-25 Australia-wide who have been looking for work and have attended an employment program. It’s not too late to participate! www.yes-study.org.au Follow us on Facebook @youthemploymentstudy and Twitter @_yesstudy_ to keep up-to-date on the study and how we’re celebrating #IDPWD today!
