VET as a re-engagement pathway for early school leavers

Uncategorized

Analysis of the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) shows that VET is an important pathway for educational re-engagement for early school leavers.

About 63% of respondents who left school without completing Year 12 had re-engaged with education via some form of VET by the age of 25.

Apprenticeships and traineeships made up around 51% of all educational re-engagement, followed by other VET courses (certificates and diplomas, 34%).
