A new survey reports that two thirds of young adults say they would be better off with vocational skills training than with traditional academic degrees.
The survey was carried out for SkillCity 2005 - the UK's largest ever skills festival due to be held next year and expected to attract 120,000 young people to its 4-day event. Amongst those interviewed for the study: - Fear of debt arising from academic education was a considerable factor
- A majority thought that high quality training was now available for school leavers
- Half of the young adults chose vocational training as the best route to a secure career
