Description

This study compared the work benefit and skill trajectories of a cohort of trade (vocational education) and bachelor (higher education) graduates of RMIT University in the first ten years of their working lives. It found that there are a number of key similarities and differences between the two groups in terms of further learning and occupational characteristics. In particular, both groups had high levels of satisfaction with work–life balance but differed significantly in their patterns of work and engagement in ongoing learning.
