Vocational education and training (VET) programs for young people in Australia have significantly expanded over the past decade. This publication provides an overview of research into the VET options available to school-aged people, including: recognised VET subjects and courses undertaken as part of the senior secondary certificate; school-based New Apprenticeships; and recognised VET options undertaken by early school leavers. It also details the emerging social benefits and outcomes of undertaking recognised VET options. The challenges which face the implementation of vocational education in schools are also summarised.
