| Data insights on VET students and their outcomes: learn how to extract and build your own data | Youth transitions in Australia: opportunities for research using the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) | ||
Are you interested in unpacking the NCVER data on vocational education and training (VET) students, their training, and their outcomes but don’t know where to start? Then come join the interactive and hands-on workshop presented by NCVER staff who are immersed in the data on a daily basis. Annually NCVER collects data on over 4 million students through the National VET data collections and sends survey invitations to almost a million of these students to understand their outcomes and satisfaction. This information is packaged into various products within the Total VET students and courses and VET student outcomes publication suites. This interactive workshop will focus on the Total VET students and courses and VET student outcomes data products and will include:
By the end of the workshop, you will be able to select the best tool to use, access, interrogate and build your own data tables on VET students and their outcomes and understand and use these data to guide your own work. | For close to 30 years the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) has provided researchers, policy makers and education practitioners with a valuable resource for capturing the pathways of young people as they make their way from school to post-school education and training and into the workforce. Since 1995, more than 60,000 young people have participated in LSAY, providing a vast evidence base for exploring youth transitions over the decades. LSAY covers topics relating to education, employment, living arrangements and wellbeing. The surveys also include information that isn’t captured by administrative data sources, for example attitudes to school, barriers to study and work, life satisfaction and soft skills. This workshop will introduce participants to LSAY and the many resources available to help use and understand the data. Particular focus will be given to data tools that provide quick access to survey results, and resources to help users find the information they need. These tools will be demonstrated ‘hands on’ and provide participants with opportunities to work through examples, explore the data and ask questions. The workshop will be run by members of the LSAY team from the National Centre for Vocational Education Research and will include a combination of presentations, demonstrations and exercises.
