项目摘要

This 5-year study will investigate how England's vocational education and training (VET) system can better support the school-to-work transitions of the 50% of young people who do not go to university. Routes into further education, training and employment for these young people are often characterised by complexity, instability, uncertain prospects and drop-out. Around 13% of 18-24 year olds are not in any form of education, employment or training. The research will focus on the 16-20 age group and will have a particular emphasis on engaging with the perspectives of young people themselves, including those who are marginalised and whose input is often not heard in policymaking. These young people are more likely to fall between gaps in the system and not be in education, employment or training, which is associated with a range of negative outcomes and lifetime costs. The research will compare the opportunities for young people living in different places and the resources they are able to draw on to help them make and exercise meaningful career and employment choices. It will explore young people's values, how differently resourced young people experience their transitions and the implications for equality, policy and professional practice.The research is guided by the principle that, to make transitions more equitable, we need to fully engage with: different dimensions of equality and the challenges of realising equality in practice; combinations of different kinds of advantages and disadvantages experienced by young people, including those often neglected in VET research, e.g. those associated with sexuality, gender identity, disability, academic attainment and place, alongside those of class, 'race' and gender; and how the range of possible opportunities interacts with young people's life experiences, values and agency. The project will use national-level statistical analysis of student destinations and a longitudinal survey of c.17,000 young people to establish who is getting access to which opportunities and provide a large-scale mapping of young people's values, aspirations and trajectories. In-depth research consisting of 500 qualitative interviews with policymakers, practitioners, young people and their parents/carers across four contrasting local authorities will provide more detailed insights to elucidate the quantitative findings. Towards the end of the project we will convene international VET scholars to bring cross-national comparative insights to bear on our findings.The research will be co-produced with key stakeholders. By helping policymakers develop greater insight into young people's lives and perspectives and supporting reflection on how the tensions involved in simultaneously addressing different kinds of inequality might best be managed, the research will help ensure that policy is more sensitive to the complexity of both young people's experiences and inequality; and hence more likely to be successful in creating more navigable and equitable transitions. The project will also help build capacity in the effective use of research to inform policy and practice development, help young people develop their advocacy skills and produce two major new datasets that will be of value for substantial future research by other teams. The research addresses pressing national policy priorities as England is currently engaged in fundamental reforms to its VET system. These have been fuelled by linked concerns about equality and productivity, in particular the disparities in education and skill levels that can prevent those from disadvantaged regions, those categorised as black or minority ethnic, as well as women and disabled people from accessing high-skill employment. This project will provide new understandings of how these disparities are produced and how they might be reduced. In doing so, it will generate insights of critical relevance to the government's equality and productivity agendas.

这项为期5年的研究将调查英格兰的职业教育和培训（VET）系统如何更好地支持50%没有上大学的年轻人从学校到工作的过渡。这些年轻人接受进一步教育、培训和就业的途径往往具有复杂性、不稳定性、前景不确定和辍学的特点。在18-24奥尔兹中，约有13%没有接受任何形式的教育、就业或培训。该研究将侧重于16-20岁年龄组，并将特别强调与年轻人本身的观点，包括那些被边缘化的人，他们的意见往往在决策中得不到倾听。这些年轻人更有可能处于系统的差距之间，而不是在教育，就业或培训中，这与一系列负面结果和终身成本有关。这项研究将比较生活在不同地方的青年人的机会，以及他们能够利用的资源，以帮助他们作出和行使有意义的职业和就业选择。它将探讨青年人的价值观，资源不同的青年人如何经历他们的过渡以及对平等、政策和专业实践的影响，研究的指导原则是，为了使过渡更加公平，我们需要充分参与：平等的不同方面和在实践中实现平等的挑战;青年人所经历的各种优势和劣势的组合，包括那些在职业教育与培训研究中经常被忽视的优势和劣势，例如与性、性别认同、残疾、学术成就和地位以及阶级有关的优势和劣势，“种族”和性别;以及各种可能的机会如何与年轻人的生活经历、价值观和能动性相互作用。该项目将利用国家一级对学生目的地的统计分析和对约17 000名青年人的纵向调查，以确定谁正在获得哪些机会，并提供一份关于青年人价值观、愿望和轨迹的大规模地图。深入研究包括对四个对比鲜明的地方当局的决策者、从业人员、年轻人及其父母/照顾者进行的500次定性访谈，将提供更详细的见解，以阐明定量结果。在项目结束时，我们将召集国际VET学者，为我们的研究结果带来跨国比较见解。研究将与关键利益相关者共同制作。通过帮助决策者更深入地了解青年人的生活和观点，并支持思考如何最好地管理同时解决不同类型的不平等所涉及的紧张关系，这项研究将有助于确保政策对青年人的经历和不平等的复杂性更加敏感，从而更有可能成功地创造更容易驾驭和公平的过渡。该项目还将帮助建设有效利用研究成果的能力，为政策和实践发展提供信息，帮助青年人发展宣传技能，并制作两个重要的新数据集，这对其他团队今后的大量研究具有价值。这项研究解决了紧迫的国家政策优先事项，因为英格兰目前正在对其职业教育与培训系统进行根本性改革。对平等和生产力的相关关切加剧了这些问题，特别是教育和技能水平方面的差距，这些差距可能阻止来自贫困地区的人、被归类为黑人或少数民族的人以及妇女和残疾人获得高技能就业。该项目将提供关于这些差异是如何产生的以及如何减少这些差异的新认识。在这样做的过程中，它将产生对政府的平等和生产力议程至关重要的见解。
