Youth unemployment in Australia persists and has been exasperated by the coronavirus pandemic. In particular, the agricultural and manufacturing sectors can benefit from youth employment. To bridge the gap between young people and employment, we worked with the Brotherhood of St. Laurence to develop a self-reflection tool, informational videos and a website, accessible here, to identify pathways to employment in both sectors. We engaged with young people in focus groups and interviews with employers and employees from each sector.
