There are a myriad of pathways for young people to choose as they continue their journey of lifelong learning. The Next Step survey is undertaken each year to capture invaluable information that assists the Queensland Government, local governments, schools and communities to help young people pursue rewarding futures. The 12th annual Next Step survey report charts the course of Year 12 leavers towards work, training or study. Not all young people finish Year 12, but the prospects for those who do are often brighter and more varied. More than 40,000 people who finished Year 12 last year, from 492 state, Catholic and independent schools and TAFE secondary colleges, took part in the 2016 Next Step survey between March to June. This number represents almost 80% of last year’s Year 12 completers and I thank all the young people who responded. Again, the survey showed that most of the young people were either studying or had entered the workforce, or were combining the two. The Queensland Government is focused on supporting students to find jobs by building employment pathways and preparing them for jobs of the future. It is important that we use insights from the report to help plan the way forward for future school leavers. I congratulate young Queenslanders who have taken the next step, whether joining the workforce, entering training or pursuing further study and wish them the very best in their future endeavours.
