Case studies showed that VET can, and often does, help people move into paid work. However, target groups have varied needs and the study concludes that the VET sector has more to do in catering for these subgroups. http://www.ncver.edu.au/publications/1986.html Accelerated apprenticeships: Apprentice, employer and teaching staff perceptions Victor CallanThis research examined recent pilots of accelerated apprenticeships in the automotive industry in Queensland. Interviews with apprentices, employers and teachers showed that the traditional model is still well regarded. It is not failing, but does require evolutionary change. http://www.ncver.edu.au/publications/1991.html Effective models of employment-based training Sarojni Choy, Kaye Bowman, Stephen Billett, Louise Wignall, Sandra HaukkaAustralia needs highly skilled workers to sustain a healthy economy.
