Background: In 1998 the ASTF announced that it would set up a national network for those interested in sustainable work and life transitions for students in Years 9 and 10 and other young people not engaged/enrolled at school.

To launch the network, ASTF ran a two day seminar on November 30 and December 1, 1998 for those involved in the ASTF funded pilots for years 9 and 10. At this seminar a range of activities were undertaken to define the network's purpose, modes of operation and implementation strategies.
