(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/studyfoxx/public_html/proactivetraining.com.au/news/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6121The latest employer use and views survey has just been released by NCVER. It collected information from 6,290 employers between March and June 2023.<\/p>\n
According to NCVER\u2019s press release<\/a>, the results tell us that \u201cemployers continue to engage with the accredited training system while increasing their use of unaccredited and informal training in 2023.\u201d This biennial survey also \u201cfound that 56.8% of Australian employers engaged with at least one form of accredited training through the vocational education and training (VET) system in the last twelve months.\u201d This was similar to the data collected in 2021, the last time the survey was conducted.<\/p>\n The publication<\/a> itself tells us that, in addition in 2023:<\/p>\n This shows a swing to a greater use of unaccredited or informal training. The top reasons for using unaccredited training were that it:<\/p>\n Their reasons for choosing it even when comparable nationally recognised training was available are interesting as well. The top reasons were because:<\/p>\n There is, perhaps, a cautionary tale here for nationally recognised training which the outcomes of the Qualifications Reform Design Group\u2019s deliberations will need to take into account.<\/p>\n If employers didn\u2019t train in the last 12 months, the top reasons were for not doing it were:<\/p>\n NCVER\u2019s reports tells us that, in 2023, the proportion of employers satisfied that training met their skill needs was:<\/p>\n All these numbers are similar to those reported in 2021. However, satisfaction with unaccredited training increased by 2.6 percentage points to 86.1% in 2023.<\/p>\n Relatively few employers (between 8.5 and 12.2%) were dissatisfied with the training received, most commonly because the training was seen as of a poor quality or low standard, or the relevant skills were not taught. For dissatisfied employers of apprentices and trainees another reason was that there was insufficient communication between training provider and employment agency. For those employers where the training was a job requirement for their staff there was not enough focus on practical skills. Access to training in rural\/regional areas was also cited by some employers.<\/p>\n Readers can explore this information and data further though data tables<\/a> and\/or a data slicer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
