Combining study and part-time work

Over the past few years, [the National Centre for Vocational Education Research] NCVER has published research which looks at some of the factors around school and tertiary education students who combine full time study with part time work. This webinar focuses around the three reports: 'Outcomes from combining work and tertiary study' by Cain Polidano and Rezida Zakirova; 'Does combining school and work affect school and post-school outcomes?' by Alison Anlezark and Patrick Lim; and 'Does part-time work at school impact on going to university?' by Xiaodong Gong, Rebecca Cassells and Alan Duncan. Drawing on various cohorts from the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY), these reports focus on different aspects of studying and working, including the reasons why students work, how much work is too much work, and the impact of combining work and study on school performance, participation in tertiary education, and future employment outcomes. This webinar will explore the findings and themes of the research and consider how it sits within the broader picture of young peoples' experiences in education.
