Self-reported participation in post-school study/training (1-4yrs)

igure 60 sh portedly participated in at least one post-

chool course (VET, university or another form of training) up to four years after Year 12. The results show two important trends:

• A high proportion of students, across all sub-groups, reportedly engaged in some form of study or training within four years of leaving school.

• Students who studied VETiS were reportedly more likely to undertake post-school study than their non-VETiS counterparts. This trend was consistent, irrespective of the quantity of TEE subjects (or equivalent) that students studied at school, although it was most evident amongst students who studied fewer than four TEE subjects (or equivalent).
