The Department of Industry, Innovation, Climate Change, Science, Research and Tertiary Education (DIICCSRTE), on behalf of the Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Science and Research, produces the annual national report for the Australian vocational education and training (VET) system. This report covers the 2011 calendar year and provides an assessment of the performance of the national training system, as well as detailed information on the operation of the national system and its achievements. The report covers total reported VET activity, which is broader than government funded VET activity, and includes some fees for service activity. The Australian VET system (including apprentices and trainees) covers delivery of VET training through a variety of public and private training providers. These include technical and further education (TAFE) institutes and other government providers, universities, secondary schools, industry organisations, adult migrant education scheme providers, enterprises, agricultural colleges, community education providers and privately operated registered training organisations.
The report is presented in three sections: section one, ‘Overview’, provides an outline of the report, describing the national VET system, relevant Intergovernmental Agreements and the economic and social context for the national VET system during 2011; section two, ‘Performance of the national VET system in 2011’, is an analysis of the system’s performance in 2011 against key indicators relating to participation, achievement and outcomes of total reported VET students and also those students identified as disadvantaged learners; VET system efficiency and employer engagement and satisfaction with VET are also covered; and section three, ‘Appendices’, provides time-series statistical tables on the national training system’s performance and includes information on the data sources used as well as additional state and territory data. Data on a selection of outcomes and outputs included in the National Agreement for Skills and Workforce Development is also included.
