Abstract	The article gives an overview of the development issues of VET in Slovenia with an accent on the transition period. It shows how the dual system was gradually replaced by the school-based one and the difficulties its reintroduction faces. It also shows that despite the modernising of VET influenced by EU accession a shift has been observed in the younger generation away from vocational training towards general education that promises higher education and greater social mobility. Several factors such as the valuation of work, transition to services, demographic decline and the network of schools can explain these trends. The ways VET can adjust to these changes are outlined in terms of its further modernisation, enabling the transition to higher education, an accent on information and vocational guidance, and opening up to adults and immigrants.
