This technical paper summarises exploratory analysis undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of using machine learning approaches to calculate projected completion rates for VET programs and compares with the current Markov chains methodology used by NCVER.
This technical report provides an evaluation of three alternative methodological approaches for calculating completion rate projections for apprentices and trainees.
This report presents data trends in apprentice and trainee training activity in 2020 as compared with 2019, to provide insights into the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis focuses on monthly counts of contract commencements, suspensions, cancellations and withdrawals, and completions.
