Lisa Paul is a former senior Australian public servant and policymaker and currently serves as the Chancellor of the University of Canberra.<\/p>\n Apprenticeship completion rates have been in steady decline over several years. Thus, \u201cthe review is looking into how support can best be placed to increase the completion rate.\u201d This is in line with governments\u2019 desire to lift completion rates across the sector, and in apprenticeships and traineeships in particular.<\/p>\n According to the website for the review<\/a>:<\/p>\n The Incentive System provides financial support to apprentices, trainees and employers working in priority industries. It is intended to encourage people to start an apprenticeship or traineeship and see it through to completion. This is to ensure Australia has workers with the trade and technical skills needed by industry, providing a secure, well-paid work and career advancement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The priority list<\/a> for apprenticeships includes a wide range of occupational areas and related qualifications. It \u201cis based on the Skills Priority List<\/a> published by Jobs and Skills Australia in September 2023.<\/p>\n Again, and according to the review website, it will look at:<\/p>\n The review\u2019s term of reference can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can also sign up to an email list to receive updates on the Australian Apprenticeship Incentive System through the review website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
