    Brief

    This project supports system-wide improvements by integrating young people's experiences into regional policy-making and service delivery. The work focuses on three key areas: employment practices, skills development, and child poverty reduction. Key activities include expanding the Youth Voice Census to capture broader youth perspectives, developing a comprehensive NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) strategy based on real-world youth insights, and implementing findings across employment, skills, and social services sectors. The project aims to ensure decision-makers at regional level have direct access to young people's lived experiences when designing policies, programs, and support services that affect them.
