This publication presents the results of a national survey of Australian employers conducted in 2007. The survey collects information about employers' use and views of the vocational education and training (VET) system and the various ways employers use the VET system to meet their skill needs. This includes hiring staff with vocational qualifications, employing apprentices and trainees and having staff undertake nationally recognised and unaccredited training. Further information about the 2007 Survey of Employer Use and Views of the VET System can be found in the support documents.
