Research : The role of technology in engaging disengaged youth
Australian Flexible Learning Network, 2011 - The cohort of young people who engage in learning through the Australian vocational education and training (VET) sector is a highly diverse one. It includes young people whose successful achievement and attainment may be compromised by a wide range of circumstances including geographic remoteness, socioeconomic disadvantage, disability or being a new arrival from a non-English speaking country. These young people face a heightened risk of disengagement from learning. This in turn makes them vulnerable to a host of negative outcomes including unemployment, lower levels of income, reduced health and wellbeing and limited choices and options across the life course.
