Explanation of the role of all stakeholders (including Government, Australian Apprenticeship Centres, Job Network and Registered Training Organisations).
The training and skills sector, also known as vocational education and training or VET, gives Australians the opportunity to gain the skills they need to enter the workforce for the first time, to re-enter the workforce, to retrain for a new job or to upgrade their skills for an existing job. Australian Apprenticeships are available in traditional trades, and in a diverse range of emerging careers, in most sectors of business and industry.

Since 1996, the Australian Government has reinvigorated vocational education and training — with record numbers of people in training, record numbers in Australian Apprenticeships and significant progress made towards developing a high quality, truly national system. More than 1.7 million students or about 13 per cent of the working age population take part in vocational education and training each year, with increasing participation by Indigenous Australians, and people in rural and remote areas.

The Australian Government takes a lead role in promoting a post-school education and training system that is nationally consistent and coherent; responsive to individual, industry and community needs; and recognised as providing quality outcomes. To achieve this, the Australian Government works with state and territory governments, education and training providers, and industry.

The Department of Education, Science and Training helps the Australian Government achieve its agenda for post-school education and training through three distinct, but closely interrelated, areas: quality policy advice and other support provided to the Minister, underpinned by capabilities in research, analysis and evaluation that also inform the policy debate within the vocational education and training and higher education sectors efficient national programme management effective working relationships with state and territory governments, industry, education and training providers, and other stakeholders.

The department provides funding to the ACT & Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry to support the Australian Government’s role in promoting the uptake of information and communication technology in education and training, for further information on go to www.dest.gov.au/sectors/training_skills
