This research analysed the learning journeys and training and employment outcomes of students who undertake nationally recognised foundation skills programs.
This report examines the factors that influence early school leavers to re-engage with education, particularly through VET.

This report investigates attrition in the trades by comparing the rate at which tradespeople leave their occupation with that of professionals. It also determines whether attrition is influenced by economic conditions, and if a trade can provide a good start to a career in the professions. The report concludes that attrition in the trades is no higher than in the professions; the rate of leaving particular occupations may vary, but overall the results between the two are very similar. The economic climate also makes little difference to the attrition rate.
