Vocational education and training (VET) programs in secondary schools in Australia are created to broaden the amount of curriculum offerings and provide young people with another pathway to work and tertiary education. This report looks at the levels of participation in VET in schools, the characteristics of the young people who participate in these programs and their work and study activities after completing Year 12. The report examined various outcomes in the first two years after completion of secondary school and pathways between the main post-school activities for separate groups of students. The findings of the study indicate the importance of monitoring participation and outcomes of participation in VET in schools. Research report no. 21 This report, published by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), is part of the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) research program. |
