abstract: 'The rate of young people (15-24 years) in Australia who are not engaged
|
||||
|
||||
in full-time education or employment remains consistently higher than
|
||||
|
||||
the national unemployment rate. Various Government, academic and
|
||||
|
||||
not-for-profit sectors in Australia are starting to recognise social
|
||||
|
||||
enterprise programs as a potential solution to the unemployment issue,
|
||||
|
||||
particularly for target groups such as disadvantaged youth. These
|
||||
|
||||
programs are operated in a real-life work environment where participants
|
||||
|
||||
can develop vocational and employability skills through experiential
|
||||
|
||||
learning as well as receive added support to identify and address
|
||||
|
||||
personal barriers to employment and education. Furthermore, output from
|
||||
|
||||
these programs provides benefits for the community. Social enterprise
|
||||
|
||||
programs are predominantly funded by Government and delivered by
|
||||
|
||||
not-for-profit agencies with a social mission. BoysTown is one such
|
||||
|
||||
organisation delivering social enterprise programs specifically for
|
||||
|
||||
disadvantaged young people. These young people have histories of
|
||||
|
||||
long-term unemployment and welfare support, limited work experience,
|
||||
|
||||
intergenerational unemployment and low levels of formal education. In a
|
||||
|
||||
mixed method study (Bartlett, Mafi \& Dalgleish, 2013; BoysTown Griffith
|
||||
|
||||
University, 2012) of the processes of BoysTown''s social enterprises and
|
||||
|
||||
the outcomes for its participants, the survey data from 542 participants
|
||||
|
||||
in these social enterprises indicated not only high rates of positive
|
||||
|
||||
employment and education achievements, but also significant improvements
|
||||
|
||||
in personal development areas such as functional literacy and numeracy,
|
||||
|
||||
communication, teamwork, self-esteem, substance abuse and antisocial
|
||||
|
||||
behaviour. The themes from semi-structured interviews with 40 of these
|
||||
|
||||
participants supported the results from these quantitative data. An
|
||||
|
||||
integral finding was that improvements in decision-making competence and
|
||||
|
||||
the belief in achievement of job, life and financial aspirations had
|
||||
|
||||
flow-on effects for young people''s achievement of employment and
|
||||
|
||||
education outcomes. These results can inform BoysTown and similar
|
||||
|
||||
agencies about current strengths and future possibilities in its social
|
||||
|
||||
enterprise programs.'
