Using survey results of student outcomes in 2002 and a follow-up survey of these people in 2004, it is possible to show longer-term improvements for 15-24 year olds who completed TAFE training in 2001. The aim of this paper, presented to the Australian Vocational Education and Training Research Association conference on 21 April 2006, is to examine the longer-term outcomes from TAFE training, including shifts in employment from prior to training to six months after training and a few years after training. It concludes that many gains can be achieved from undertaking training in the VET sector and these gains improve over time.
