The book builds on CEET's review of the economics of vocational education and training for the Australian National Training Authority in 1994. Seven chapters discuss: the overall purpose of the review; changing employment patterns; demand for VET; supply of VET; special supply issues; finance and market issues; and finally, future research, access and equity, and research impact.
The review draws upon a wide range of published research relating to this area. The report makes an important contribution to the current competitive training market debate. Conclusions drawn are integral to current policy discussion.
