Using wage data from the Student Outcomes Survey, this study examines whether there is a pay off to actually completing a vocational education and training (VET) qualification, noting that many VET students do not complete full qualifications. It is important to acknowledge that students' motiviation for undertaking VET is very varied, as is their educational background. Returns to study also vary. This report is useful to policy-makers in terms of defining performance indicators for the sector and also in terms of thinking about resourcing and fee models for the sector.
