Lessons from a flexible learning program: the Brotherhood of St Laurence Community VCAL education program for young people 2010-2013

The Brotherhood of St Laurence 'Community VCAL' program is a response to widespread concern about youth disengagement from secondary education. Operating in Frankston since 2010, it enables 15-18 year olds who have encountered significant challenges to undertake the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning [VCAL], a course which combines classroom tuition with vocational training and work placements. This report describes the evolution of this integrated approach to assisting young people through teaching, wellbeing and pathways support in a non-school setting.
