The purpose of this project was to examine where diploma- and advanced diploma-level vocational education and training (VET) qualifications lead. In particular, do they lead to employment in associate professional or professional occupations, and are they used as a pathway to university-level studies? These questions are addressed using data from the National VET Provider Collection and the Student Outcomes Survey, both of which are maintained by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER). Analysis of the data provides an overall picture suggesting that undertaking diploma and advanced courses in VET leads to employment outcomes for many students. However, the research also demonstrated that many, particularly younger people, are employed at an occupational level below that intended by the course. There are significant further study outcomes from these courses, with about a third of young graduates going on to university studies. There are also variations in outcomes by field of education, with graduates in architecture and building, and also health having the best employment outcomes. However, high proportions of young graduates in minor fields, such as accountancy, and banking and finance, going on to university study following the course. Another noticeable feature of the overall picture is that subjects-only completers do not have nearly as good employment outcomes as graduates. They are considerably less likely to state an employment-related benefit and are more likely to be employed at an occupational level below that of associate professional.
