VET student outcomes 2023

Description

This product provides a summary of the outcomes and satisfaction of students who completed nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) delivered by registered training organisations (RTOs) in Australia during 2022 using data collected between June and August 2023. The figures are derived from the National Student Outcomes Survey, which is an annual survey of students who completed their vocational education and training (VET) in Australia during the previous calendar year.

Introduction

To reflect the training undertaken in the VET system, the survey has been segmented by training type, consistent with the Total VET students and courses publication, by:

• qualification completers - students who completed a training package qualification or an accredited qualification
• qualification part-completers - students who commenced but only completed part of a training package qualification or an accredited qualification (and are no longer undertaking that training)
• short course completers - students who completed a training package skill set or an accredited course
• short course part-completers - students who commenced but only completed part of a training package skill set or accredited course (and are no longer undertaking that training)
• subject(s) only completers - students who completed one or more subjects not delivered as part of a nationally recognised program and who are no longer undertaking training in the VET sector.
