This report provides an up-to-date picture of trends in the uptake of VET in Schools (VETiS) programs, the profile and participation of students who undertake VETiS programs, and the level and type of qualifications that are undertaken. It also reports on investigations into the education and training experiences of VETiS students five years down the track of their VETiS course. This part of the study uses a new data set which links 2006 data from the National VET in Schools Collection with data from the 2011 Census of Population and Housing. This linking provides a large number of observations about the destinations of VETiS students. In doing so it enables a closer look at the employment and further training destinations and experiences of VETiS students from various demographic, cultural and educational backgrounds.
