Description
This report presents national data on the graduate pathways of vocational education and training (VET) students who completed their qualifications in 2019-2020.
The analysis focuses on priority cohorts (female graduates, First Nations graduates and graduates with disability) and a range of different study types (including age group, location and prior employment status).
Key findings
- In the year following completion, VET graduates had a median income uplift of $11,800.
- Nationally, 84% of VET graduates were employed, a 15 percentage point increase from before enrolment.
- 8% of VET graduates pursued higher education after completion and 16% enrolled in a higher-level VET qualification.
- Among VET graduates who received income support prior to study, 39% were no longer on income support two years after completion.
A technical report and dataset accompanies the report.
