  1. Change and more Change... It’s here: what does it meanfor my RTO? Maria Langwell General Manager, Business Development Manager

  2. Good news from Tasmania Yippee!! Students who completed their VET training at a private provider in Tasmania in 2012 87% employed or in further training, comparedwith 88% nationally Overall… 91.6% of graduates and 88.7% of modulecompleters satisfied with quality of training

  3. Future economic upturn: plan for skills needs do not rest - time to get your RTO ‘house’ in order • industry calling for greater government investment in training & employer incentives = more skills training • use this time to: • get your business models and quality systems right • prepare for changes to VET standards and practices

  4. Did you know… You can do it too! …only 40% of ACPET members receive government funding? This means they are: providing quality education and training-to-work results surviving change and economic ups and downs, and growing and adapting to change… …all without depending on government funding.

  5. VET reform in Australia – the story so far • more flexible, demand-driven system based on real industry demand and skills needs – it’s about improved quality of the VET sector but • under funding contestability, all RTOs must put much stronger cases for receiving public funding to the new masters: industry and the community members

  6. Govfunded Training Entitlement for working Australians Everyone’s a winner! Guaranteed access to qualifications: up to their first Certificate III guaranteed access to a Certificate I/II course or foundation course if it leads to a Certificate III

  7. The outcomes of choice Choice is good most enrolments at Certificate III and above (75%) ...and critically: most enrolments in areas of high industry need: only 13% in areas of labour market oversupply 88% of Victorian employers satisfied In Victoria – in 4 years 4,283% increase in enrolments in Foundation courses (LLN) 184% increase in enrolments by unemployed students 68% increase by students reporting a disability 117% increase by culturally and linguistically diverse students

  8. Outcomes of choice - far from doom and gloom VET providers have adapted quickly to the training market following implementation of demand driven funding in VIC and SA: Private providers – up 113% (enrolments),up 128% (hours), up 112% (students) TAFE providers – up 3% (enrolments),up 2% (hours), down 3% (students), and ACE providers – up 4% (enrolments),up 21% (hours), up 6% (students)

  9. Lessons from Victoria and SA results and reality checks having a choice of providers (entitlement to learning) encourages more students into VET first 6 months of reforms in SA: 43% enrolment increase overall positive results: significant benefits for students, employers and community but: difficult to manage in tight government fiscal environment significant disruption to private provider and TAFE business models that could have been better suported

  10. Being a Provider of Choice Well done!! Out of 7,500 employers interviewed: 85% satisfaction that training was meeting their skills needs 85% satisfaction with nationally recognised training to meet skills needs 8% dissatisfactionwith VET qualifications’ meeting skills needs (only) 3% concernedabout quality NCVER, Australian vocational education and training statistics:Employers’ use and views of the VET system, 2011)
