Hip pocket reward for post-school study
A recently-released report from the National Centre for Vocational Education Research indicates that completing a vocatioanl education and training qualifications can lead to a return for study of at least 20%. In some areas, it can exceed 50%.
This makes it a sound investment for students of all ages - particularly as those people who have demonstrated that they can do the job well are the ones who get recognised on the job in a number of ways.
NCVER Managing Director Tom Karmel said the research put paid to the view that doing a VET course was not worthwhile.
“The fact is that study in VET institutions is rewarded financially and students come out ahead,” Dr Karmel said.
“This is important news for current and potential students of all ages and backgrounds.”
The research says the best investment for students is in higher level courses such as diplomas and certificate III/IVs.
