The NSW Government is steward of the state’s VET system, as well as being a funder and provider. It is the nation’s largest funder of VET, accounting for almost a third of all students and the largest number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. The NSW Department of Education, TAFE NSW (the state’s public provider of VET) and the NSW Education Standards Authority have prepared this submission.  \nIn NSW, training provider courses emphasise hands-on experience and are taught by industry professionals – equipping students with in-demand and relevant skills aimed at supporting the NSW economy and addressing skills shortages.  \nStrengthening the provision of quality VET is the key to enhancing its status. NSW has led the way in ensuring the State’s provision of VET is world-class. In 2021, Mr David Gonski AC and Professor Peter Shergold were appointed to conduct a review of the NSW VET system. The Review considered opportunities to ensure VET is regarded as a genuine and desirable option for school leavers and all recommendations have been implemented:  \n1. Establish a NSW Institute of Applied Technology (IAT) as an entirely new form of Australian tertiary education  \n2. Establish Careers NSW  \n3. Improve the breadth and quality of vocational education made available in high schools  \n4. Improve strategic and purposeful industry engagement in VET by ensuring that employers can have a more influential role in planning and designing relevant educational and training courses and have greater involvement in providing on-the-job training and career advice  \n5. Establish an income-contingent loan scheme for students studying Certificate III and IV qualifications that have been identified as addressing priority skill areas in NSW  \nWe commend the NSW VET Review report to the Committee as it provides useful research, conclusions and focus actions.  \nThere are major skills shortages that span both higher education and VET. Both sectors need to be supported as valid choices for learners and employers. We are happy to share with the Committee information on our extensive proven and emerging programs aimed at improving the perceptions, status and ultimately participation in VET.  \nWe welcome this Inquiry by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training.  \nInquiry into the Perceptions and Status of Vocational Education and Training  \nSubmission 77  \nResponse to terms of reference  \n1.
