This technical paper provides details underpinning the new and previous methodologies for calculating completion and attrition rates at three different hierarchical levels: Individuals, apprenticeships, and contracts.
It provided a summary of data relating to domestic Government-funded VET activity delivered in Australia. It contains information on students, programs, subjects, and training providers.
Note: This publication has been superseded. It provided an estimate of the extent and nature of nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) delivered in 2024 by Australian registered training providers (RTOs).
The latest Government-funded students and courses 2024 report shows that student enrolments in government-funded vocational education and training (VET) have increased in the 12 months to December 2024.
This research found that students who undertake foundation skills training alongside other VET programs are more likely to complete their studies and secure employment.
This research uniquely amplifies the voices of First Nations and migrant learners who have disengaged from foundation skills courses. By understanding their goals, experiences, and recommendations, ways to better support their completion are identified. The research explores how these learners first encountered the courses, their motivations for enrolling, the supports available, and the barriers they continue to face. Participants directly shared their training experiences and suggested improvements, offering valuable insights to enhance the effectiveness of foundation skills programs.
This research shows that pre-apprenticeships are effective in increasing the probability of apprenticeship completions.
