Data is collected to provide statistical information about the vocational education and training (VET) system and the higher education sector.

Vocational education and training

Victoria's Vocational Education and Training System – A Pocket Guide provides a range of useful and interesting statistics on Victoria’s VET system.

The publication contains information about:

The Pocket Guide is compiled using information from Skills Victoria’s student statistical collection and financial information and the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) Student Outcomes and Employer Use and Views surveys.
