Overview of Quarter 1: 

As a Council-led partnership with the business, education and community sectors, Catapult brings together a range of opportunities that help to prepare young people for the jobs of today and of tomorrow by building an entrepreneurial mindset and enterprise skills.  Catapult is being piloted across four local high-schools in 2020 with the view to scale the program to reach more young people into 2021.

As the program is firmly aimed at creating employment outcomes for young people, over time the measures will focus on job pathways created as a direct result of involvement with the program. However, with the program being in its initial stages it is anticipated that these outcomes may take one or more years to materialise. During the pilot phase the program will focus on demonstrating value for all stakeholders, building relationships, and generating further interest which we expect will support the long-term success of the program, and in turn eventually enable the job-pathway measures to be realised.  
Outcomes include:

• 17 industry partners engaged in program to date including representatives from key local businesses including GO1, TrakPro, MyWork along with Queensland Health
• 84 students in total engaged throughout the program so far
• Students surveys have indicated that, as a result of participating in the program: 
• 77% of participants agreed or strongly agreed that they know how to develop a business idea and pitch it to others
• 82% felt that the problems that they identified and developed solutions for are relevant to their career aspirations
• 93% of participants would recommend the program to others

The above markers, along with qualitative feedback gathered throughout the program, indicate that engagement across key stakeholder groups over the past quarter is very positive. Over the coming quarter the City Transformation team will continue to build on this engagement and momentum to both grow the program and eventually transition the success measures to job pathway creation.
