Career Guidance: A Key Factor in Success Pathways in VET(Andalusia, Spain)

Research that has focused on the analysis of TEA student success and dropout trajectories is scarce but agrees on the importance of career guidance.  In this paper we propose: a) To analyze the situation of VET students in relation to their success, drop-out and mobility trajectories between training cycles and b) To understand the vision that guidance agents have in relation to the contribution that vocational guidance can make to the improvement of VET student learning. The results have been obtained through a mixed sequential research design. The results indicate the need to develop vocational guidance actions that serve to improve academic results and prevent high dropout rates in VET.
