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.

This document provides technical detail and supporting data for the research findings discussed in ‘The student journey in VET: the many faces of completion and non-completion’.
This report explored the various aspects of course completion and non-completion. It identified instances where program non-completions can be considered as successful student outcomes, possibly reflecting diverse student intentions.

During the last decade undergraduate university enrolments have grown considerably. To explore whether young people who would have previously chosen an apprenticeship have instead entered university, this analysis uses data from the Longitudinal Surveys of Youth (LSAY) to compare the characteristics of apprenticeship-bound with university-bound young people and to look at if they have changed over time.
