What you need to know about the VET reforms

A student Entitlement for entry-level qualifications, where students can select the approved provider that best meets their needs

Targeted Priorities for higher-level qualifications and part qualifications

Consumer-driven system

Website for students and employers on training, jobs and quality

Quality information on providers on the Website

Better information

Strengthened quality measures and consumer protection

Quality training

One Skills List to define what qualifications government will subsidise

Priority skills

New prices and fees

Changes to how prices, fees and subsidies are set and loans for higher qualifications

It is a major reform to the NSW training systemSlide16

The

same for the same qualification regardless of the training provider

chosen

On average, student fee contributions increase with the level of the qualification

Apprentice fees will be capped

the 2015 cap is $2,000 per qualificationSlide18

What does training look like in 2015?

Today Students choose from what RTOs offerAll students have equal access to government subsidised training

Students pay either by semester or full year - fees are easy to understand and explain to studentsTAFE NSW has set policy for its operations

Tomorrow

Students choose from a range of offerings from many RTOs

Personal

eligibility and “caps” will impact on

individual

access to government subsidised

training

Student fees will be complicated and require calculations for each individual

student - students can pay by installment or access a loan (for higher level qualifications)

STS will set operating guidelines for a major part of our businessSlide19

How will Smart & Skilled affect school leavers?School VET qualifications do not impact on entitlement to subsidised training

Articulation from VET to university is cost effective (Diploma = c.1 year’s credit on degree program) VET training concurrently with a university qualification increases job readinessTrain local/stay localAggressive RTO marketing, offering of incentives and a range of information may make it hard for the customer to work out the best

deal for themSlide20

How will Smart and Skilled affect Aboriginal people?

Aboriginal people enrol in course and with provider of choice

Entitlements will have restrictions, e.g. previous qualification may mean you cannot get an entitlement – courses not on Skills List will cost more

Social/community focussed courses may not be funded

Exemptions are still available for Aboriginal people

NSW residency/employment restrictions may not apply to Aboriginal peopleSlide21

Kerry Jenkins – award winning apprentice

“TAFE changed my life.  I have a whole new career, I know I can study and I would like to be the best that I can be.” Slide22

Quality in the VET environmentNew

national standards in 2015 for RTOs – includes more rigorous requirements to demonstrate independent assessment validation; industry currency; teacher qualificationsTraining Package changes will be constant and require ongoing review of assessmentsProposed changes to Training Package development – potential for niche businesses to drive training agendaIncreased competition and negative perceptions of providers

National regulator (ASQA) conducts regular audits of RTOs, qualifications, and follows up complaints – limited response time and large investment of RTO timeSlide23

The Challenges in training young people Training needs of NSW economy means:

Aligning training to regional industry needs which may be different to community expectations Increasing level of post school qualifications to meet industry needs for higher skills levelsMaintaining TAFE presence in central and western NSWEnsuring meaningful outcomes/pathways for studentsDemonstrating training and employment opportunities are not limited by our geographySlide24
