This product provides a summary of the outcomes and satisfaction of students who completed nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) delivered by registered training organisations (RTOs) in Australia during 2019 using data collected between June and September 2020. The figures are derived from the National Student Outcomes Survey, which is an annual survey of VET students. Historically the National Student Outcomes Survey included graduates (students who completed a qualification) and subject completers (students who completed at least one subject and left the VET system without obtaining a qualification). To better reflect the training undertaken in the VET system, the survey has been segmented by training type. Highlights include: In 2020, the most common reason for undertaking training: for qualification completers and part-completers was 'to get a job', at 25.7 per cent and 22.4 per cent respectively; and for short course completers, part-completers and subject(s) only completers was because 'it was a requirement of my job', ranging from 39.6 per cent to 50.2 per cent. Lower proportions of qualification completers and qualification part-completers were employed before training than any other group. Proportions employed before training were: 64.7 per cent for qualification completers; 64.1 per cent for qualification part-completers; 82.2 per cent for short course completers; 83.2 per cent for short course part-completers; and 86.2 per cent for subject(s) only completers. In 2020, a lower proportion of qualification part-completers had an improved employment status after training than any other group. Proportions with an improved employment status after training were: 56.0 per cent for qualification completers; 49.7 per cent for qualification part-completers; 58.4 per cent for short course completers; 59.4 per cent for short course part-completers; and 61.3 per cent for subject(s) only completers. In 2020, a lower proportion of qualification part-completers was satisfied with the overall training than any other group. Proportions satisfied with the overall quality of training were: 88.4 per cent for qualification completers; 76.1 per cent for qualification part-completers; 93.3 per cent for short course completers; 89.6 per cent for short course part-completers; and 92.2 per cent for subject(s) only completers.
