About
Accessing VET equity data
Vocational education and training (VET) provides opportunities for people to gain skills for work or further study. It’s important to ensure everyone has equal access to these opportunities for social inclusion and national productivity. NCVER collects and shares VET data that can be used to explore and monitor the participation and achievement of groups that face barriers accessing education.
In this webinar, we will introduce the variety of publicly available VET data and self-service tools that NCVER provides. These tools enable anyone to identify and explore equity groups and sub-groups for their own purposes. The presenter will share information about the development and findings of the latest release of NCVER's Student Equity in VET product. Participants will learn where to access and how to create and download tables of equity data from collections and surveys such as Total VET Students and Courses, National Apprentice and Trainee Collection, and the National Student Outcomes Survey.
This webinar will benefit beginner to intermediate data users who are interested in monitoring, advocating for, or understanding specific groups of VET students.
We encourage participants to send any questions they have about identifying equity groups in VET data or how to access data to webinar@ncver.edu.au by Tuesday 23 May 2023 to help us tailor the webinar content to your needs.
