The questions of whether and how to make vocational education and training (VET) available to Australian adults studying for the Victoria Certificate of Education (VCE) were examined through a review of 14 pertinent documents and questionnaires sent to the following groups: adult VCE teachers, coordinators, and administrators; current adult VCE students; adults currently studying VET in the VCE; adults who completed the VCE in 1996; and current Certificate of General Education for Adults students. Special attention was paid to students' willingness to commit additional time to VET and barriers to participation in VET. Of the current adult students surveyed, 13% expressed interest in studying VET courses as part of a 2-year VCE and 39% expressed interest in VET as part of a 1-year adult VCE program. Teachers and coordinators generally believed that students should study a wider range of academic VCE subjects before considering the introduction of VET in the adult VCE. (Appendixes constituting approximately 50% of this document contain the following: 14-item annotated bibliography; the survey questionnaires; list of other courses proposed by 1996 and 1997 VCE students; list of reference committee members; and criteria for selecting students to participate in the VET in Schools program.)
