Abstract: This article investigates the career paths of learners who attended Youthreach education centres. Youthreach originated in 1989 as an alternative pathway for early school learners experiencing disadvantage. Youthreach is an underresearched sector of the education system, even less is known about the career progression of Youthreach graduates. This article investigates the career paths of these learners in detail by combining themes from current literature and policy with themes identified in the data obtained from qualitative semi-structured interviews with eight former learners. Themes identified by former learners include work experience, career planning, life skills, and a culture of high support.
