Skills Insight has produced a report that uncovers the factors impacting engagement with and delivery of formal VET training.
The Exploring Training Demand and Supply Report reveals insights from interviews with 224 people across 11 industry sectors with low enrolment qualifications. Thanks to the contributions of stakeholders around the country, the research reveals key variables impacting VET training supply and demand and identifies areas of opportunity for potential solutions.
This research tells a story of invisible demand, an absence of supply and industry left without the skills they need.
Key findings have been organised into four common themes:
- VET governance, funding and regulation
- RTO delivery challenges
- Issues of industry attraction and career pathways
- Barriers to industry engagement in VET.
Specific analysis is also provided of the factors impacting regional, rural and remote Australia and each of the 11 industries included in the research.
These findings provide important guidance for industry and government decision-making to improve availability and engagement with formal training where it is needed.
