Abstract
This paper reports on research examining a number of ways in which participation in vocational education and training (VET) in schools might be associated with different post school pathways. The paper describes levels of participation, examines post-school destinations, and presents evidence that there are gender differences in these destinations that are associated with the level of participation in VET in schools.
