A graduation statement provides an explanation of the qualification achieved, its place in the education system and other information useful to the graduate and domestic and international employers and educational institutions including information about further study and work pathways facilitated by the award of the qualification, as well as additional information about the training, such as details of practical placements undertaken by the graduate. Graduation statements are established internationally, including in European Union countries and New Zealand. Also, the Australian higher education sector has implemented the Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS). However, there is no equivalent for the vocational education and training (VET) sector.

The Australian Qualifications Framework Council is undertaking a project to better understand the consequences for providers of the introduction of a VET sector graduation statement. This paper aims to stimulate discussion and seek input to identify potential design and implementation issues.
