The first tranche of TTL was open for ideas from 9 December 2016 to 24 February 2017. We received nearly 400 submissions from individuals and organisations across Australia. We took some of the most promising and refined these ideas through with idea proponents, members of the priority groups, and other experts. Slide 4 Progress of tranche 1 – The Minister for Social Services approved around from $23 million for 14 projects tranche 1. Projects are currently being rolled out across Australia. The projects take varied approaches to helping members of the priority groups transition into work (I’ll provide some examples shortly). Projects have been selected, in part, based on the kind of evidence they will produce. They will be robustly evaluated to produce high-quality policy evidence about the effectiveness of interventions, for whom, and under what circumstances. The fund will allow us to identify projects that work, and use the evidence we have gathered to transform our investment in existing programs or make the case for new investments. Additional info Fact sheets on the individual projects are on the DSS website. Slide 5 Tranche 1 project overview – Tranche 1 projects have a split of 4 young parent projects, 3 young carer projects and 7 student and unemployed former student projects. Parents projects: Supporting expecting and parenting teens Career readiness for parents In-school parenting employment services Train and Care projects: Data-driven job opportunities Skills for micro-enterprise Carer Achievement Pathway Student or former student projects:
