Reducing youth unemployment through social procurement in construction

该项目旨在对建筑业有效的跨部门合作提出新的概念见解，以便为解决青年失业问题提供解决方案。青年失业是一个重大的经济、社会和健康问题。然而，澳大利亚最大的年轻雇主--建筑业--面临着技能短缺的问题，无法提供一条史无前例的建筑和基础设施管道。社会采购是应对这两个挑战的潜在解决办法，但需要采取新的跨部门协作办法。该项目旨在为有效的社会采购开发新的见解、实用知识和实用工具。

This project aims to produce new conceptual insights into effective cross-sector collaboration in construction, in order to provide solutions to address youth unemployment. Youth unemployment is a significant economic, social and health problem. Yet Australia’s largest youth employer, the construction industry, faces skills shortages to deliver an unprecedented construction and infrastructure pipeline. Social procurement is a potential solution to both these challenges but requires new approaches to cross sector collaborations. This project aims to develop new insights, practical knowledge and practical tools for effective social procurement.
