Most students who aspire to commence VET right after completion of lower secondary education do not succeed or else do not succeed straightaway in making the transition. The reasons for this include vocational orientation difficulties and unfeasible occupational goals. Practical placements are a key element available in school-based vocational orientation. This article shows that pupils who have undertaken a work experience placement and have positively embraced this involvement are more likely to achieve their planned transition to VET and require less transitional time.
