- Abstract
This study explores the views of 6,492 New South Wales (NSW) primary and secondary school students' post-school aspirations. It explores when vocational education and training (VET) begins to feature in students' thinking about their futures, the kinds of students who think about VET, and under what conditions. The study informs how teachers, schools, and VET providers might enrich the information available to students and their parents/carers and address current gaps and misunderstandings in students' knowledge about VET. Appendices are included. [For the related reports, see "Choosing VET: Aspirations, Intentions and Choice" (ED577595) and "In Their Words: Student Choice in Training Markets--Victorian Examples. NCVER Research Report" (ED577594).]
