Abstract	This report investigates the medium-term outcomes of vocational education and training (VET) programs delivered by rural schools for youth and their communities. Former students from six rural school clusters in six states were surveyed, including those who participated in school VET programs and those who did not. Principals and school VET program coordinators provided information on the purpose, nature and outcomes of their VET programs. Case studies of three states, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania, are included in summary in this report. Findings suggest that school-based VET programs in rural areas have special potential to develop skills and pathways for the future workforce of rural Australia. The research also suggests that pathways from school-based VET programs in the primary industries area need to be more flexible to improve access to training and participation, particularly in remote areas. In addition, females need to be encouraged to consider areas of school VET study that lead to career paths in rural areas. It is a more concise version of the detailed full report of the study. The full report is available as a support document. [See ED495179] (Contains 2 tables.) (ERIC).
