It provides summary data, as well as additional information on training rates, completion rates, training within the trades and training duration. http://www.ncver.edu.au/publications/2023.html Is VET vocational? The relevance of training to the occupations of vocational education and training graduates Tom Karmel, Peter Mlotkowski, Tomi AwodeyiThis paper explores the issue of how vocational education and training (VET) is actually used in the labour market, in particular the match between what people study and the jobs they get. This match is pretty poor in most occupational groups with the exception of the trades. However, the paper concludes that the mismatch reflects the generic nature of VET rather than wastage. This view is reached because a relatively high percentage of graduates report their training is relevant even though they do not end up in their intended occupation. http://www.ncver.edu.au/publications/2013.html 'NCVER News' is also available as a news feed from http://www.ncver.edu.au/news/news.rss |
