Previous Victorian State Profiles have outlined the way in which the Victorian State Training System has matured considerably over a period of years. Having established the main structural arrangements by 1994, the task Victoria set itself was to refine these structures and processes in the light of experience and evolving needs. The State Training Board has adopted a number of strategic themes to take the State Training System forward over the next few years and these are outlined in this Profile. In addition, the State Training Board has set itself a number of priorities including ensuring the continuing relevance, quality and cost effectiveness of service provision. The key features of the profile include: (1)increased delivery to occupational groups previously under-serviced by TAFE, predominantly at operator level; (2) increased provision of workplace leadership programs, in the workplace; (3) in several industries, a decrease in the provision of full-time higher level courses, reflecting both a recognition by industry of limited labour market demand and reduced numbers of school leavers seeking these courses; (4) increased language and literacy training, particularly in the workplace, both independently and as a component of other vocational training programs.
