“…Moreover, the share of VET graduates who are mismatched by field of study is larger than among graduates from tertiary programmes (although this difference disappears for graduates with similar jobs, and the difference reverses when additionally controlling for personal characteristics). 20 Mismatch can be related to many factors, including the adaptability of VET graduates to a demand on the labour market that does not directly matches their education. Moreover, the extent to which mismatch exists depends on the extent to which it is allowed, e.g.…”

“…Using information from the OECD Skills for Jobs database (see Box 7.1 for more details), Figure 7.1 compares the shortage or surplus intensity of an occupation to i) the relative importance of that occupation for VET graduates' employment (i.e. the number of VET graduates employed in that occupation relative to the total number of VET graduates in the labour market, Panel A), and ii) the fraction of workers (aged [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34] in that occupation who have a VET degree (i.e. the number of VET graduates in each occupation relative to the total number of graduates in the occupation, Panel B).…”

“…The strong performance of VET in facilitating school-to-work transitions suggest that strong VET systems could also help protect youth from unemployment during crises. Youth unemployment is traditionally low in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, which are known as the "apprenticeship countries" (OECD, 2010 [20]). Even in the global financial crisis, these countries have succeeded in keeping unemployment down, with youth unemployment rates hardly increasing during the crisis.…”

“…For any other field of study, VET graduates are less likely to find employment related to their field of study than graduates from tertiary education with a similar field of study. Particularly among those who specialised in 'Computer science' or 'Teacher training and education science', VET graduates are much less likely to work within their field of study than graduates from tertiary education 20. Based on a regression analysis including occupation (2-digit ISCO), gender, age, country of birth (foreign-born or not), number of own children, highest educational qualification of the parents, and current region of residence.…”

The emergence of a knowledge-based economy has been identified as a central trend in modern economies as a result of the increasingly important role of information technology and learning in economic performance. In recognition of this most governments throughout the developed world have responded with a series of policy initiatives since the late 1990's to either introduce or significantly increase information technology provision in schools to prepare students for life in the twenty first century. Ireland, with its growing reliance on the knowledge economy sector for employment and continued economic prosperity, developed its own policy initiative for computerizing the nations' schools known as "Schools IT 2000: A Policy Framework for the New Millennium". It was an ambitious programme with high expectations for the integration of ICT (Information and Communications Technology) in education. This paper examines two longitudinal educational ICT projects in Ireland in the first decade of the new millennium to query how far schools have travelled along the information superhighway and to ponder how well the catalytic capabilities of ICT have become embedded in the realities of classroom life and teachers pedagogic practices, with attendant implications for Ireland's economic development.
