iTrack provides students with someone to talk to outside of their networks who can give them advice and encourage them with their post-school plans.Many young people disengage from their education and drop out of school during their teenage years. The impact of growing up in disadvantage creates barriers that can make it even more difficult to see the benefit of completing Year 12.​Leaving school early also affects the work choices available to young people.
