All manuscripts are expected to be analytical, with reports of studies interpreted both in terms of the theoretical literature and in terms of contemporary issues in vocational education and training.

Articles may be submitted to the refereed section of the journal or to the Policy and Practice section. The Policy and Practice section takes shorter articles of a more practical and applied nature.
