a report by Kira Clarke published by NCVER (National Centre for Vocational Education Research in Australia)
Summary
This report explores the relationship between vocational education and training in (VET) in schools and the labour market.
Four models of VET in Schools are used to establish how VET in Schools is conceptualised and how occupational and further VET study outcomes are maximised.
Interviews and surveys with stakeholders also consider how VET in Schools can be strengthened.
Overall, VET in Schools does not provide a strong link to direct employment as it is generally undertaken at certificate I and II level and does not contain enough workplace learning.
Instead, VET in Schools may be better placed as a pathway to further vocational study. This work is part of the three-year research program Vocations: the link between post compulsory education and the labour market.
The full report in either DPF or Word is available (free registration required).
Further information about the Australian VET in Schools programme is available from the Australian government here.
