Outcomes of LSAY consultations
In November and early December 2010, NCVER conducted consultations to identify new project ideas for the LSAY analytical program to 2013. To help generate ideas, a discussion paper was released in early November 2010, with written responses invited up until 3 December 2010. Face-to-face meetings were held in Perth and Canberra. NCVER also conducted a webinar to enable people from across the country to participate.
The results of the consultations are summarised in an outcomes paper below and help to shape the 2011-13 LSAY analytical program of research that NCVER conducts on behalf of the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.

LSAY research priorities
The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations has agreed to the national research priorities for the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) program, which will guide the LSAY research program to 2013.
The three research priority areas are:
- Improve the education outcomes of young people: by understanding the factors that impact on participation and completion in education and training, especially for those who are disadvantaged.
- Provide young people with the skills, qualifications and capabilities needed for the contemporary labour market: by investigating whether the skills from, and pathways through, education and training are well-matched with labour market demands.
- Support young people to lead full and meaningful lives: by gaining a better insight into the well-being and social activities of young people.
