Try, Test and Learn Fund – View Ideas (Young students at risk of long-term unemployment)

This page contains excerpts or summaries of eligible ideas submitted to the Try, Test and Learn Fund by individuals and organisations across Australia.

These excerpts or summaries are published here to encourage collaboration. You may contact people who have submitted these ideas to discuss opportunities for collaboration using the details provided or, if contact details are not available here, by contacting us. New or modified ideas can be re-submitted up to 24 February 2017.

The ideas published here are eligible for consideration under the Try, Test and Learn Fund, according to the eligibility criteria. This means that (unless withdrawn or replaced) the full submission will be assessed for shortlisting for the co-development stage. Publication of an eligible idea does not indicate a judgment of its strength or quality relative to other eligible ideas.

Once submissions have closed at 5.00 pm Canberra time (AEDT) on 24 February 2017, the Department of Social Services will assess each eligible idea to determine which should progress to co-development. Further information may be found in the Try, Test and Learn Fund Handbook.


These ideas have been made by members of the public. The views and recommendations expressed in these ideas are those of the authors and are not the views or recommendations of the Australian Government. The Australian Government accepts no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any material contained in these submissions. Please note submissions may have been edited to remove certain words or names of individuals or organisations.
