Employers across the nation will be contacted in the coming weeks as part of the Survey of Employer use and views of the VET system to find out how organisations employ and train staff, and how effective this training is at meeting their needs.
Managed by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), the survey aims to collect the views of 9000 employers between now and June this year.
“We urge employers to have their say. The survey only takes around 10 minutes and this is your opportunity to help inform policy and shape future training” said Dr Craig Fowler, Managing Director, NCVER.
“We’d like to hear from all employers, not just those providing training. It’s essential we talk to a range of employers to ensure we get a clearer picture of what’s happening in workplaces across the country.”
“In 2015 we learnt that around half of employers use the VET system, and roughly three in four are satisfied that vocational qualifications give employees the skills required for their job” he said.
Businesses are randomly selected from the Australian Business Register to take part.
The Survey of Employer use and views of the VET system is a biennial survey conducted on behalf of the Australian Government and state and territory governments. Funding is provided through the Australian Department of Education and Training.
Survey results will be published in late 2017.
