The Digital Transformation Expert Panel are working to identify how Australia’s Vocational Education and Training (VET) system can most effectively respond to digital change underway across industry and its impact on the nation’s workforce. Phase A reports are now available.
The National Centre for Vocational Education and Research (NCVER) are currently undertaking a survey of Employers' Use and Views of the VET system (such information about employers' engagement and satisfaction with the VET system and the various ways employers use the VET system to meet their skill needs over the last 12 months).
Participants are selected randomly and employers can complete the survey either online or by a computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI). Click here to find out more information.

Factsheets for VET training providers, employers, jobseekers and students can be found on the Department of Education, Skills and Employment website.
