Vocational education and training: Meeting the skill needs of the manufacturing industry
Overview
The Victorian vocational education and training (VET) system delivers employment-related skills and qualifications in a wide range of occupations, including those in the manufacturing industry. These skills and qualifications enable both young and older people to enter the workforce, to retrain for a new job or to upgrade skills in an existing job.
The audit examined how well Victoria’s publicly-funded vocational education and training is meeting the skill needs of the manufacturing industry. Three sectors in the manufacturing industry – vehicle manufacture, engineering and pharmaceutical manufacture – were selected for particular attention.
