This research focuses on three vocational education and training (VET) schools of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labour (MOITL). Each school serves a different sector within the ethnic and religious communities of Israel. We interviewed eight national policy makers and 17 local educators, alongside other experts affiliated with VET schools. We also performed a quantitative survey of 30 teachers and 395 students in our casestudy schools. Our mixed-methods analysis looked at differences between the schools at various levels (students, educators and policy makers). The results clearly show that VET in Israel is viewed as a mechanism for dealing with social exclusion. VET students are primarily dropouts from mainstream academic education and students with learning disabilities, most of whom come from lower socio-economic backgrounds and have a poor capacity for general academic studies. Although the schools are unable to provide students with sufficient resources, they are successful at turning students around from educational failure. A number of policies are suggested at the national level to promote coordination between the MOITL and the Ministry of Education (MoE), in addition to reforms of the Apprenticeship Law and obligatory collaboration with industries.
