Learners in pre-accredited courses: a labour force perspective on students, their motives and the benefits they gain

This report draws on data from the Adult, Community and Further Education (ACFE) Longitudinal Study of Learners in Pre-accredited Courses in Victoria. The report, which is based largely on the cohort of 2011, turns the spotlight on work-related reasons for study and work-related outcomes. This focus is important because many of the men and women who enrol in pre-accredited courses are economically vulnerable. They are often in relatively insecure situations within the labour market (under-employed, unemployed, or workforce-inactive, even while studying for work reasons). In addition, they commonly have low levels of qualifications (or none) and incomplete schooling. Pre-accredited courses offer a pathway to reverse the disadvantages of limited education and precariousness in the labour market.
