The mission of the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) is to be Australia's leading provider of quality, independent information on vocational education and training (VET) to governments, the sector, industry, and the community. Its vision is that policy and practice in VET are informed by a sound base of high quality research and analytical evidence. Key highlights for the year include: renewal of the statistical services contract for 2004-05 with the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA); reporting for the first time on school-based apprentices and trainees, apprentices and trainees who were existing workers, and 'traditional apprentices'; providing input into a number of important national reviews; and working with the National Education and Training Statistics Unit within the Australian Bureau of Statistics to review the adequacy of statistical collections in the VET sector.
