Career, transitions and marginalised young adults are of significant concern in the highly technological and mobile global economies in which we live today. Ensuring participation in the workforce and building strong economies with high levels of migrant and indigenous youth is a reality of the 21st century world. Therefore, identifying the factors that facilitate successful transitions for marginalised young adults entering careers after leaving school is a priority for policy makers. This programme of research explores these issues.
