New Victoria University program gives high school leavers 'space' to figure out future

The program was funded by a pool of state government money allocated to the university to research how to help different industries bounce back from COVID-19.

The university said Summer Gap was unique, as researchers collaborated directly with participants to understand what support they needed when leaving high school.

Project manager and former teacher Amy Howard said they discovered young people wanted space.
