This chapter begins by discussing the market for educated labour, the views of the employers about university graduates in Chile and the availability of information for users of the education system. It then reviews the opportunities for progression through different levels and forms of learning: from schools to the work place, from further to higher education and training and across different types of tertiary education institution (CFTs, IPs and Universities). An analysis of the internationalisation of tertiary education in Chile highlights the importance of collaborative ties with foreign partners for improvement of the country’s international competitiveness.
