What can be done to strengthen the outcomes of VET in Schools for students?
How VET in Schools can be strengthened to provide stronger links to post-school pathways is explored in this report.
This report explores the relationship between vocational education and training in (VET) in Schools and the labour market.
As part of the three-year research program, 'Vocations: the link between post compulsory education and the labour market', this working paper sets the policy context and direction of the entry to vocations research stream. After looking at the current ‘in-school’ element of VET in Schools programs and jurisdictional differences, the paper raises a set of questions for discussion. For example, are more advanced and intense programs of VET in Schools needed to deliver stronger labour market outcomes? Do VET in Schools programs need to be more directly connected with post-school VET programs?
