Pathways and partnerships : a challenge for secondary schooling, vocations and leaerning [editorial]

Pathways for Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS): What are they? Who uses them and Why? What do we know about their contributions to young people’s transitions into further education, industry training and/or work in their trajectories post-school? In this year’s VOCAL journal, authors have engaged with these questions in relation to VETnetwork Australia’s 2012 conference theme of pathways. We offer a collection of eleven articles from national and international authors representing a range of inter-systemic, cross-sectoral scholarly contributions.
