Career Moves : Expectations And Destinations Of New South Wales Senior Secondary Students, Gary Marks, Catherine Underwood, Sheldon Rothman, Justin Brown

The purpose of the project is to examine senior New South Wales students’ expected educational and occupational pathways.

The current research draws together reviews of complex and often competing contexts, analyses of prior research, and results from a national survey of 327 practising VET leaders. Analysis of what VET leaders report doing in their jobs suggests that while they are attuned to the education-focused demands of their roles, they now …
