The Survey of Employer Use and Views of the Vocational Education and Training (VET) System is currently being reviewed by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER). This discussion paper is the first step in the review. It provides a framework for feedback and identifies key issues for consideration. NCVER is seeking input from users to identify their information requirements and how the survey may be modified to better meet their needs. A feedback form has been provided for this purpose. NCVER will consolidate this feedback and report on the outcomes from the discussion paper.

This report presents the results from the 2002 national survey of students who undertook vocational education and training (VET) during 2002. The survey covered TAFE graduates and TAFE module completers.
TAFE graduates were defined as students who attended a TAFE institute in Australia and who completed a Certificate, Advanced Certificate, Associate Diploma, Diploma, Advanced Diploma or Bachelors Degree of at least 200 hours or one semester duration, and had an Australian address as their usual address. A questionnaire was sent to a stratified, randomly selected sample of graduates (approximately 42,000 graduates).
TAFE module completers were defined as students who were not graduates, had attended a TAFE institute in Australia and successfully completed some training in a course irrespective of the number of hours of the training, and left the TAFE system. A similar questionnaire to that which was sent to graduates was sent to a stratified, randomly selected sample of module completers (approximately 8,000 module completers).
The information collected in the survey includes: the nature of the training undertaken; the outcomes achieved as a result of completing the training in relation to employment; an indication of whether students were satisfied with the training; and whether students achieved the goals they had set for themselves before commencement. This report presents key results at a national level, giving an overview of the results and exploring the trends that emerge when comparisons are made with previous survey data. This national report is complemented by a briefer publication: Australian vocational education and training statistics: student outcomes survey 2002: in summary (TD/TNC 71.12). Show less
