Queensland Government reforms for the future Gold Coast Youth Program

This paper gives an overview of the Gold Coast Institute of TAFE (GCIT) Youth Program, following its development from its inception in 1997 to the present. The aim of the Program is to direct young people towards taking responsibility for their own educational welfare and instil in them a love of learning for life. Additionally, the Program aims to assist students to obtain part/full time employment, traineeships or apprenticeships or to return to school or to undertake further studies. The Program has led to less of an attrition rate and enabled students progressing to vocational training to be better able to cope with a classroom environment and with the literacy and numeracy requirements.
