Introduction

Vocational education and training plays a significant role in helping people move into employment, improve their employment, progress to further education, and for those who face barriers to build a bridge to employment and broader community engagement.

This report draws on the data submitted to the Department of Education and Training by training providers that deliver government subsidised training in Victoria. Training activity in 2015 (half year) is compared to that of previous half years to provide a picture of changes and trends over time.

Throughout this report, references to 2015 or 2015 ( half year ) mean the period for the first six months of the year.
