Summary The transition from full‐time study to first full‐time job is modelled using data from the first phase of the Australian Longitudinal Survey (ALS). The transition process is modelled using an ordinal probit model since the time from leaving school to first job is only observed categorically in the ALS. Variables found to be significant in explaining transition time are sex, parental education level, years of schooling, perceived ability and reasons for leaving school.
