Using training indicators to improve planning for vocational education and training

'Training indicators', which are current and future indicators of vocational education and training (VET) demand and supply and are used by governments, enterprises, training providers and individuals to guide decisions about investments in training, are a crucial part of VET planning. A project conducted by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) has been studying the use and effectiveness of training indicators in VET planning by the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) and by the States and Territories. With diversification and deregulation of VET, more training indicators could be directed to regional and TAFE institute-level planning. The project also recommends: (a) improved reporting of youth transition issues; (b) greater timeliness and interpretive quality in NCVER enrolment and outcome publications; (c) online development of NCVER training indicators; (d) more regional detail in the VET student outcome survey; and (e) quality reforms in VET student and careers information.
