Australian Vocational Education and Training Statistics. VET in Schools, 2009
National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER)
This publication presents information on vocational education and training (VET) undertaken by school students as part of their senior secondary certificate, known as VET in Schools. The VET in Schools arrangement offers two main options: students can undertake school-based apprenticeships and traineeships; or VET subjects and courses (the latter are referred to as "other VET in Schools programs"). Most VET in Schools students are aged between 15 and 19 years. Therefore, in this report, statistics for VET in Schools students are compared with students aged 15 to 19 years who enrolled in the public VET system. (Contains 8 tables and 16 notes on tables.) [For this report's support document, "VET in Schools 2009: Terms and Definitions. Support Document", see ED512571.]
