There are VET educator pages<\/a> too. It\u2019s well worth a look around if you need more help in working with students with a disability.<\/p>\n Recently, ADCET has been funded by the Department of Education, Skills and Employment (DESE) to undertake three new projects. The projects will:<\/p>\n Develop resources to build RTO capability to support students with disability with a focus on advising, reviewing and developing \u201ca variety of resources to assist and build RTO capability to support students with disability to engage with and undertake training in the VET sector.\u201d (Project 1)<\/p>\n Develop resources for course designers to support removing unnecessary barriers within training packages and accredited courses for students with disability. This work will \u201cprovide advice on, and develop resources, guidance and best practice examples for qualification and course developers to ensure training packages and accredited courses are designed without posing a barrier for students with disability undertaking VET.\u201d (Project 2)<\/p>\n Review and analyse enrolment practices for students with disability \u201cto identify best practice and explore how self-identification of a disability at enrolment informs RTO practices to supporting students throughout their engagement with VET.\u201d (Project 3)<\/p>\n The projects are \u2018on the go\u2019 and you can get updates here<\/a>. VDC will also keep an eye on this work too.<\/p>\n NCVER has just released VET disability stats, which you can access here<\/a>. In summary, those with a disability are underrepresented in VET at 5% of students. In contrast, those with a disability are 18% of the Australian population and 9% of the workforce.<\/p>\n Nearly 171,500 VET students were identified as having a disability while just over 3.25 million did not. Most with a disability (62%) were aged under 40 years and just over half (54%) were undertaking government funded training (in contrast only 33% of non-disability students were in this category) and were studying a qualification (70%). There is other useful information on NCVER\u2019s site, including information on relative achievements and outcomes.<\/p>\n The NCVER site<\/a> also contains data on other equity groups, including those in remote areas, those of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background as well as for people from non-English speaking or low socio-economic status backgrounds.
