Young refugees in Germany tend to pursue academic training goals first rather than aspire to vocational education and training. This article investigates the question of whether a longer duration of stay in the country can help change their objectives and make it more likely that young refugees will gravitate towards VET instead of to higher education. Representative data from an IAB-BAMF-SOEP survey of 17-year-old refugees was evaluated for this purpose.
