Meeting minutes from the Employment Youth Advisory Group (22 May 2024) document a discussion of survey results examining youth career information sources and decision-making. Attendees from the Department of Education and Training, National Careers Institute, and youth advisory group members identified parents, teachers, guidance counsellors, and career expos as primary information sources. The group highlighted barriers to career information accessibility, noting disparities between prominent employers and smaller firms, and discussed the need for more tailored, practical guidance on job-seeking processes, career progression, job security, and working conditions. Members emphasised the value of labour market data tools like the Australia Jobs Report and Your Career website, alongside requests for information addressing the distinction between short-term casual work and longer-term career goals. The discussion reflects youth sector input into national careers guidance policy development.
