The purpose of the project is to examine senior New South Wales students’ expected educational and occupational pathways. It specifically analysed the post-school destinations of both Year 12 completers and early school leavers (or school non-completers) in the first year after leaving school and the educational and occupational expectations of students still at school.

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 …
