The Commission released an online resource – The right to work:
maximising the employment potential of young New Zealanders –
which contains six case studies. The case studies highlight effective
youth employment initiatives in South Auckland, the Far North and

Annual Report 2014
The scale of the products and services in this output area has been determined
by available capacity. The standards for each output have been determined based
on historical trends. Qualitative feedback and recorded observations triangulated
with survey results has indicated that products and services in this output area
are consistently regarded by participants as valuable or very valuable. Inevitably,
given the contestable nature of the content and as evidenced through results
to date, there will always be a percentage (0–25%) of participants who will not
indicate that a programme has been of value or great value to them, irrespective
of the quality of the programme. Consequently, standards for this output area are
set at a range of 70–80% participants who rate the output of value or great value
to them. There are no readily available comparable domestic or international
standards and measures.
