Training courses of VET diploma holders leading to a PET qualification, in the 12 years following the VET diploma
Published by: Federal Statistical Office
Theme
Of those holding a Federal Diploma of Vocational Education and Training, 38% went on to obtain a tertiary-level qualification in the following 12 years. These results vary greatly according to the field of study in which the federal VET diploma is obtained as well as the characteristics of the enterprise and socioeconomic factors. In particular, the share of those obtaining a tertiary qualification exceeds 50% if at least one parent holds such a qualification themselves, but falls to just 27% if neither parent holds a post-compulsory qualification.
