This report explores occupations that can be entered into via either a vocational education and training (VET) pathway or a higher education pathway. It examines whether these individuals do the same job tasks and roles, if there are differences in how well the qualifications prepare them for the role and whether they have the same occupation and employment outcomes, such as salary and career pathways.
This paper expounds the conference theme ‘VET’s role in transforming the future’ by examining how the sector is adapting, anticipating and activating change in response to future skill demands.
