Introduction
Presented here are data on the outcomes of Australian students who completed their vocational education and training (VET) in Australia in the previous calendar year. The information is derived from the National Student Outcomes Survey, which is an annual survey of those who completed or partially completed training.
Information is presented on VET students’ reasons for training, their employment outcomes, satisfaction with training, and further study outcomes.
For survey timings and more information, see our VET statistics explained page.
