Abstract
Vocational Education and Training (VET) plays an important role in Australian educational system. VET system is provided in colleges, Technical and Further Education (TAFE) training institutions, private registered training organisations (RTOs) and community-based adult education centres [2]. The main purposes of VET are improving people's skills before they enter workforce or upskilling them after they entered the workforce. In this paper, we discuss the disadvantaged groups in Australian society and in the VET system and how participation in VET system improves the life chances of people in these groups. Also, we discuss the VET funding policy and the social implications of current Australian VET and lifelong learning policy towards the disadvantaged groups.
