Where are they now?
We are hoping to follow up with some past Aspirations Study participants to find out about their work and education arrangements since leaving school.

If you did participate in the study, you may remember filling in a survey during class time or being interviewed by a researcher from the University of Newcastle. Participating schools were located across NSW, with the research taking place between 2012 and 2018.

To help with our latest research, all we ask is you complete a short 10-15 minute online survey. We are also looking for a few people to participate in an online or phone interview.
