Up to 25 per cent of newly concluded training contracts are prematurely dissolved every year. However, only a small proportion of young people will actually bring their involvement in vocational training to an end. Many more will make a renewed attempt to achieve a general educational or vocational qualification. This article uses the longitudinal dataset from the National Educational Panel Survey (NEPS) to investigate the questions of which route is most frequently embarked upon and how this is determined by personal characteristics.
