What Is The Youth Futures Summit?

The Youth Futures Summit is a 2-day event at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) that will bring together hundreds of people nationally from diverse sectors and communities. 

This Summit seeks to understand the problems and challenges young people face today in education, employment, and transitions from education to employment.

The Summit will:

• Draw together people from multiple sectors and communities that are reflective of the diversity of cultures, backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs that make up all of Australia
• Be co-presented, co-attended and shaped by young people
• Deep-dive into the challenges and identify what the solutions should be
• Explore a number of different areas from education, training, job services, young workers’ rights, and what the future of work will look like

When:

• Day One – Monday 20 April 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
• Day Two – Tuesday 21 April 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
