This book draws on the stories of thirty-two young Australians to
identify the barriers and obstacles they face in 'getting a job' in
precarious times and from their vantage point. It maps the kinds of
educational policies and practices that need to be created and more
widely sustained to assist their career aspirations and life
chances. It is timely in terms of contributing to an alternative
set of possibilities based on a commitment to the principles and
values of social justice, respect, trust, care, democracy and
citizenship. In constructing an alternative vision and practice for
education and training it advocates the right of all young people
to have a say in these broader public debates. In pursuing this
agenda, it deliberately sets out to listen to what young people
themselves have to say with a view to interrupting the way things
are. In other words, the book seeks to identify and explain the
dreams, desires and aspirations of young people with a view to
creating a new imaginary and socially just future.
