Total VET activity (TVA): second report released
The second release of total vocational education and training (VET) data shows there were an estimated 4.5 million students enrolled in training in 2015. The data provides an estimate of the nature and extent of training reported by 4277 Australian training providers and builds on last year’s release which marked a turning point for the VET sector following the introduction of mandatory reporting of training activity.

Is Australia’s training sector fit for purpose?
New research, based on the last year’s release of total VET activity data and training provider registration data, tracks the development of the Australia’s training market in the context of significant policy changes and increased competition for government funds. It finds systemic changes have not driven major changes in provider numbers and the sector includes small to very large providers, raising the question of whether its structure is optimal for current and future skills needs.
