This report provides estimates of the size and nature of the Australian vocational education and training workforce. Data was collected through the 2019 National VET Workforce survey from registered training organisations (RTOs). The report presents estimates of the number of individuals working in RTOs with a particular focus on trainers and assessors. Information was also collected about volunteers who play an important role in some RTOs.
This report uses an integrated dataset to investigate the post-school employment and training destinations of secondary school students who undertook VET for secondary school students (VET in schools) programs in 2011.
This guide presents an analytic framework that summarizes some of the main elements and issues that need to be considered in measuring ROI. This includes establishing the scope, context and purpose for measuring ROI, adopting guiding principles, identifying costs, benefits and factors that impact on ROI, and approaches to data collection and analysis.
This annual publication summarises NCVER’s publications and events for the previous year, including reports, summaries, infographics, presentations and webinars.
Note: This publication has been discontinued. The report provided a summary of outcomes and satisfaction for students who completed or cancelled/withdrew from an apprenticeship or traineeship in 2018, including personal and training characteristics, and information on further study.
Uses data from the Census and ABS Survey of Qualifications & Work to analyse trends in qualification levels within occupations from 2006-16 to show a general upward shift in qualifications held by workers.
The report presents an analysis of nationally recognised ‘training package’ skill sets, and shows how both skill sets numbers and reported enrolments have grown in recent years.
This study analyses data gathered from NCVER collections and interviews with RTO staff to examine trends across all qualifications delivered fully online.
This study compares the completion rates of apprentices and trainees employed with group training organisations versus those employed with direct employers.
This report uses 10 years of LSAY data to reveal five main pathways taken by young people as they transition from school to work. It also identifies factors that influence pathway choice, offering potential policy cues.
This ‘No Frills’ 2019 discussion paper explores how, as jobs and industries develop, workers will require ongoing upskilling and reskilling to maintain their position in the workforce.
This infographic provides a visual representation of the findings from the report ‘The role and function of small VET providers’.
This research builds on previous NCVER work to better understand the value that small VET providers contribute to the Australian VET system.
This report explores whether VET undertaken by secondary students equips them with the technical and non-technical skills required to successfully participate in an ever-changing world of work.
This project gathered industry perspectives on the concept of higher apprenticeships along with views from other stakeholders in the VET and higher education systems.
This annual publication summarises NCVER’s publications and events for the previous year, including reports, summaries, infographics, presentations and webinars.
This report brings together information collected by NCVER, the ABS and the Department of Education and Training to provide data on students enrolled in school, VET and higher education.
The 'No Frills' 2018 discussion paper explores the future skills we will need to both operate and succeed in an increasingly interconnected world.
This analysis looks at the relationship between emerging technologies and required skills, and offers key findings for the VET sector to consider in planning training packages for the future.
This paper outlines how the methodology used to determine government-funded VET program completion rates can now also be used for total VET activity program completion rates.
