The Victorian Training Market Reports are an on-going series of reports
produced by DEECD, with the aim of providing summaries of Victorian Vocational
Education and Training (VET) market performance and responsiveness to industry
needs. All VET providers who receive funding from the Victorian Government
report monthly to the Skills Victoria Training System (SVTS), which accepts
and validates the providers' training activity data for payment, monitoring,
reporting and related purposes. DEECD analyses the providers' reported data
in its production of the Victorian Training Market Reports.
The Reports summarise emerging trends in the Victorian training market and
provide a comparative overview of annual market changes.
Key metrics in the Reports include training delivery by funding source,
qualification level, training completions, employment status, higher needs
learners and region. The Reports also analyse the responsiveness of training
delivery to specific occupational needs, industry and regional profiles.
All figures published in the Reports are generally rounded to the nearest 100.
NB: The Victorian Training Market Reports are published quarterly. The data in
the first, second and third quarterly reports is considered preliminary and
should be treated as being indicative only.
All data supplied to Data VIC refers to activity reported and accepted by the
SVTS system (data upload) for the Fourth Quarterly Report 2012. This 2012
annual collection dataset was open for reporting purposes over 16 January 2012
to 15 January 2013. The collection was closed and finalised on 16 January 2013
and then subsequently informed the final 2012 Victorian Training Market
Report.
