Urban disadvantage and VET participation and achievement

This paper examines the profiles of VET [vocational education and training] clients in disadvantaged areas in Sydney and Melbourne, building on earlier analysis of VET participation in these cities. The focus of the paper is to provide insights into what kinds of disadvantaged VET clients are participating in TAFE in selected regions of Melbourne and Sydney. It aims to examine the characteristics of VET clients coming from postcodes identified as disadvantaged and to try and determine the extent to which high levels of participation are accompanied by comparable achievement.
