Abstract
This article describes the involvement of higher
education and business in the development of new
vocational qualifications for 14-19 year-olds in Eng-
land. It is intended that this ‘co-production’ will
lead to a set of qualifications which have an
‘applied’ character and which support progression
into both employment and higher education. Natio-
nal availability, strong brand promotion and the
inclusion of functional and generic skills are inten-
ded to encourage continued participation in edu-
cation/training. Relatively low participation in edu-
cation/training post-16 is perceived as a particular
problem in England. The Diploma complements new
legislation that requires all 17 years-olds to remain
in education or training by 2013 and all 18 year-olds
by 2015. The article considers how the facility for
progression from Diplomas to university affects the
success of the reform and explores possible con-
nections between Diplomas and previously intro-
duced two year vocational degrees in English uni-
versities. The article ends with a brief review of
how the Diploma reform addresses issues of social
inclusion in higher education.
