This study investigates the views of TAFE teachers, school teachers and school students on VET in Schools programs. It discovered most schools agree that offering vocational education and training (VET) programs as part of the higher school certificate is a useful means of improving students' learning and success at school. VET in Schools programs are also generally believed to provide students with opportunities and pathways which may not have otherwise been available. The range of factors affecting the ability of schools to offer good VET programs are described, as is TAFE's role in assisting early school leavers. |
