This paper summarises the consultations undertaken by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) in September and October 2008 to determine the priorities for the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) research program to 2010. The findings in this paper are grouped into three research priority areas: improve the education outcomes of young people by understanding the factors that impact on participation and completion in education and training, especially for those who are disadvantaged; provide young people with the skills, qualifications and capabilities needed for the contemporary labour market by investigating whether the skills from, and pathways through, education and training are well matched with labour market demands; and ensure that young people lead full and meaningful lives by gaining a better insight into the wellbeing and social activities of young people.

This document is one of a series of industry training monographs designed to provide readers with an overview of occupational trends and the current training effort in each industry in Australia.
The accommodation, cafes and restaurants industry in Australia, representing more than half of Australia's tourism and hospitality related employment, accounts for some 4.5 per cent of all jobs in Australia. It has been one of the fastest growing areas of employment over the last decade. The industry employs more females than males, is a significant source of casual and part time jobs, and has the lowest labour costs of any sector and the lowest expenditure on structured training of all industry sectors in Australia. However apprenticeships and traineeships in the industry have grown strongly over the last three years and it has become the fifth largest industry employing apprentices and trainees.
This document is one of a series of 17 individual monographs which are entered into VOCED from TD/TNC 55.12 to TD/TNC 55.28. For a summary and overview of the current training effort in each industry in Australia see TD/TNC 55.11 and for the collected papers in one volume, 'Outlook for training in Australia's industries', see TD/TNC 55.06.
