Did you know that 119,000 young people (aged 14–26) were either at-risk or disconnected in 2022? This figure includes 63,000 disconnected young people with limited connection to employment and education, of whom 12,000 were severely disconnected, meaning they were not employed/enrolled in a workforce program and had not attained a high school diploma or equivalent. It also includes 56,000 at-risk high school students who were exhibiting warning signs that they might not graduate high school, which heightens risk of disconnection.
