The Board of Vocational Education and Training (BVET), which is appointed by the Minister, oversees policy and planning initiatives and fosters partnerships between key stakeholders in the New South Wales (NSW) training system. The Board is a key source of advice to the Minister on state and national vocational education and training priorities. The Board also functions as the State Training Agency for the purposes of approving the allocation of recurrent and capital Commonwealth funding. The Board’s strong commitment to quality is matched by an equal determination to ensure that all Australians have access to training opportunities. In 2002-2003, the Board has implemented a range of projects and strategies to address the training needs of disadvantaged groups. Projects focusing on the specific needs of Indigenous communities, people with a disability and people in rural and regional communities are detailed in this report.
