Abstract	The purpose of the current study is to examine, in retrospect, trainees' perceptions of the reasons some of their peers dropped out of the vocational education at the Industrial Institute-Shuwaikh (IIS), Kuwait. Using the descriptive-analytical method, a reliable questionnaire was developed to achieve this purpose. Results show that: (a) the trainees perceive that institutional influences, particularly family-related reasons, are the most common reasons for their peers to drop out; (b) only the father's educational level and family income are found to significantly affect, though in a small proportion, the trainees' perceptions, though not in all statements. Based on the obtained results, relevant recommendations are included. (As Provided).
