Evaluation of the Victorian Early Leavers Connection Initiative

Synergistiq, an independent research consultancy, has been appointed by the Department of Education to undertake an evaluation of VELCI. Through this evaluation,we are seeking to understand the effectiveness of the program, how the program contributes to the department’s education policy, and what may be able to be improved. The findings of this evaluation will inform the department's future decision-making and help the department understand more about supporting early leavers through the school exemption and during their post-school pathways.

As part of the evaluation, we are keen to hear from you. Share your insights into post-school pathways via a short survey or phone interview.
