make the transition from school to further education, training
and work. Young people who left school in years 10 to 12 in
2002 have been contacted to participate in a survey. Those
who advised they were not studying, training or in full time
employment were put in contact with local services for advice
to help them get their career plans back on track

site provides access to the 2002 survey
data with explanatory notes. It also supplies
frequently asked questions for students who have been invited
to participate in On Track.
