VET Update - Skills for Digital Economy and latest Statistics

This paper investigates the role of VET in developing digital skills in the Australian workforce, using two sectors as case studies - Transport and Logistics, and Public Safety and Correctional Services.

There were 275 200 apprentices and trainees in-training as at 31 March 2017, a decrease of 3.7% from 31 March 2016.

This guide suggests ways the vocational education and training sector can develop an applied research capability to help secure its place in Australia's innovation system.

This document explains the VET Applied Research Developmental Framework, created as part of a project that explored how the vocational education and training (VET) sector could broaden its engagement in Australia's research and development (R&D) and innovation systems.

New research shows that five years after participating in VET in Schools, 87% of students were working, studying or both.

Through investigations into how the VET sector can contribute to innovation, we find opportunities for innovation through an applied research agenda.

This statistical publication presents information on VET in Schools, the vocational education and training (VET) undertaken by school students as part of their senior secondary certificate of education.
