Flexible Learning Option (FLO) in The North Metro
ICAN
…in the interest of young people
About Service to Youth Council
The evolution of FLO in the North
But first … a State-wide perspective
Consider this:
Unemployment at 30 year lows
Skill Shortages create opportunities
Baby boomers retiring
Young people have never had so many opportunities
for success
Youth Unemployment in SA is 29.3% and in Northern Adelaide
is 55%
In Australia, there are 526,000 15-24 year olds neither in full-time education or employment
… in the interest of young people we needed to consider some of the existing paradigms
The evolution of FLO in the North
… a collaboration of groups… in the interest of
young people
Step 1:
Acknowledgement of goodwill, expertise and professionalism

Step 2:
A community of service providers working with schools
not for schools
A change in paradigm …Working with a service, not a
program
