Employment Assistance Survey
About the Employment Assistance Survey
The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations is conducting the Employment Assistance Survey to gather information about the assistance people have received from the Job Network. Participants will be contacted approximately every three to four months over a two year period to see how their assistance has changed and how it has influenced their employment status over time. The first interviews will take place in November 2007.
Purpose of the survey
The purpose of the Employment Assistance Survey is to help the department understand more about people’s experiences with Job Network assistance and unemployment. Survey findings will be used to help improve the services available to people who are seeking work and/or receiving income support payments.
Who is participating in the survey
A random sample of job seekers who are either participating, or have recently participated in Job Network services have been selected to participate in the survey.
Although participation is voluntary, the contribution of job seekers is important if we are to understand the experiences of job seekers and improve assistance to job seekers. Participation in the survey will not in any way affect any income support payments or employment services people may be receiving.
The information provided will be kept in the strictest confidence and only be used for research purposes.
