Summary
This grant supported an applied research project to advance policy and practice on improving transitions to employment for youth and young adults. The report discusses current policies that encourage work-integrated learning in relation to the observed results, and provides practical advice about government policies to facilitate easier transitions from education to the labour market. It provides universities/colleges, their potential co-op partners, and policy leaders with evidence-based, expert-reviewed and actionable policy recommendations.
