This study explores the extent and distribution of Indigenous staffing in vocational education and training (VET) and various aspects of their employment experience within the VET sector. It notes a recent decline in Indigenous staff numbers to below the set targets that, the author's argue, are in themselves too low. The report offers many suggestions as to how to improve numbers and experiences of Indigenous staff in VET throughout the employment cycle, from position identification through to succession planning.
