NTB Network is a newsletter produced by the National Training Board and focuses on training and national competency standards for occupations and classifications in industry or enterprise awards or agreements. Contents can cover industry updates, training reforms and the vocational education and training system, networking events, project updates, overseas developments, and resource reviews.

Number 17, June 1995 is the last edition of NTB Network. MINCO at its May meeting agreed that the functions of ACTRAC and the NTB be subsumed into a new Standards and Curriculum Council within ANTA from 1 July. The Council will also have new functions relating to NFROT, assessment, and national qualifications. The new structure is an important and welcome step toward achieving the goals of a national training system responsive to industry and enterprise needs. Processes to enable the transition to proceed smoothly are well advanced. The Board's assets, records, and staff will transfer to ANTA and the Council on 1 July. The Council will have a new office in Melbourne in addition to the Board's present offices in Canberra. Although its business will have moved to ANTA, the NTB will continue to legally exist for a few months whilst the necessary steps are taken to place the company into voluntary liquidation, probably in September.
