The School-to-Work Transitions Project (2005) examined school-to-work transitions for youth up to age 18. It aimed to identify strengths in existing service delivery for youth aged 16 to 18 and uncover both the current gaps in service, as well as alternatives that may be introduced to enhance services to this age group. The research involved a literature review as well as consultations with Job Connect providers, experts on School-to-Work Transitions and youth.
E-Services for Youth (2004), funded by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, the project identified the needs of employers, job seekers and students for local web-based services. The research outcomes informed future development of the Job Connect approach to client- and employer-oriented e-services. The report contained an Environmental Scan of available employment websites which served to inform the latter phase of the research that incorporated three separate reports: e-Services, e-Business and e-Learning.
