  • Young People's Perspectives on Youth Employment in Franklin
    Young People’s Perspectives on Youth Employment in Franklin, Auckland Scoping Research for Auckland Council August 2015 Fouche, C. Kim, H. 2 Executive Summary Rising youth unemployment coupled with the need to generate more local employment opportunities have been key issues for the Franklin Local Board. A gap in local knowledge towards developing sustainable solutions to these issues was identified and the perspectives of local young people sought regarding: barriers in the local employment sector opportunities in the local employment sector thoughts on being ‘work ready’ preparing young people for employment preparing local employers to employ young people A survey exploring these five issues was undertaken by 110 young people (aged 16-19 years) from Waiuku College, Pukekohe High School, Clevedon Presbyterian Church, Waiuku Youth Group, and Pukekohe Youth Centre in June and July 2015. Survey findings indicate that in terms of barriers, the majority of participants did not have any paid work, and felt finding local paid employment difficult. This was partly attributed to not enough work being available and ‘unsuitable’ employment – i.e. work opportunities did not match a young person’s skill set, and/or hours they were available to work, and/or were not accessible. With regards to opportunities, most survey participants indicated a wide interest in jobs - especially those which increased their skills and were linked to career prospects. Managing the challenge of non-flexible work hours was noted amongst many survey responses. Work readiness: the majority of participants felt confident to ‘start’ a job, but ‘finding’ a job seemed difficult. In being prepared for paid work, participants saw the importance of having work experiences and skills, a driver’s licence and getting timely information about available jobs.
