Reform of Vocational Education and Training

3 April 2008 

The Government has released two documents and web links outlining the program of reforms to vocational education and training under the 'Skilling Australia for the Future' initiative. These two key components of the reform include:

  • The creation of a new skilling and training information website; and
  • A 'Road Map to Reform' document explaining all components of Skilling Australia for the Future

The Government has set up an independet Skills Australia advisory body and strengthened Industry Skills Councils (ISCs). Skills Australia in partnership with the ISCs will aim to halve the proportion of Australians aged 24 - 64 years without qualifications at Certificate III level and above and it will seek to double the number of higher qualification completions (diploma and advanced diploma) by 2020.

Follow the link to the new Skilling and Training Information website.

The two Skilling Australia discussion papers are located via the links below:

  • Reform Road Map - outlining all elements of Skilling Australia for the Future
  • Productivity Places Program - outlining the Government's skills shortage initiatives and how they differ from previous approaches to skills and training
