Refocusing vocational training in Victoria

This policy statement from the Victorian state government outlines how it will work towards better targeting government support for vocational education and training (VET) through reform to minimise the risk of ineffective and inefficient operation of the market. These reforms will underpin a VET sector characterised by sustainability, high quality and direct industry engagement. The statement covers the following areas: (1) sustainability of VET; (2) quality of training through higher expectations of training providers, stronger monitoring and compliance checks, and user choice; (3) industry driven VET through a new model for industry engagement that will enable a stronger, direct industry voice in the development of VET, and additional support for critical and niche skill needs; (4) building trade pathways; and (5) stronger partnerships with higher education providers.
