About
This webinar will report on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the VET sector during both the initial crisis period and the subsequent recovery. How did training providers, employers, and specific student cohorts adjust to the changed circumstances? To what extent has this led to more permanent changes in delivery for the future?
The information showcased will be drawn from a number of NCVER reports and surveys over the past 3 years (2021 – 2023) which focuses on the transition to digital delivery and how they impact students, employers and training providers.
