Summary/Abstract: The paper looks at the characteristics of vocational training students’ socio-economic status, and also analyzes the changes in the qualifications and professions of VET students’ parents between 1973, 1993, and 2010 – for during these years national surveys took place, which give us an opportunity to review the reproduction of skilled workers across generations. Between 1973 and 1993, in parallel with society overall, there was a huge change in the qualifications gained by VET students’ parents – while there was no major change between 1993 and 2010. In the last 17 years, VET students came via the same social stratification, while the qualifications of persons in society overall (here, in the 35–49 age group) improved remarkably, i.e. matriculation and graduation saw massive increases. So we can say that the influence of parents’ socio-economic status on the career choices of VET students was significant in 1973, slighter in 1993, and negligible in 2010.
