Re-engagement, training and beyond: evaluating the second year of a Community VCAL education program for young people
In Frankston, the Brotherhood of St. Laurence has developed a Community VCAL program for 15 to 18-year-olds who have faced barriers to mainstream education
Students undertake the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning – a Years 11 and 12 course which combines classroom tuition with vocational training and work placements – in a community setting.
The evaluation of the second year found that the CVCAL model can have a profoundly positive impact on ‘at risk’ young people, though it has its own distinctive challenges.
