Were you at school between 2012 and 2018 and participated in the Aspirations Longitudinal Study. Or do you know someone who was?

You may remember doing a survey, or participating in focus groups and interviews with a University of Newcastle researcher.

We want follow up with students who participated to find out where they are now. This study will provide insight into the challenges young people face in achieving their educational and career aspirations.

If this is you, please fill in our survey. http://qtr.edu.au/asp-uon-survey

Students went OK despite the pandemic Teachers openly reported increased workload and emotional exhaustion.

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.
