COMPETION IN VET: WHAT IT IS AND HOW IT CAN BE ACHIEVED?

A recent Roundtable provided an opportunity for key players in the vocational education and training (VET) sector to discuss what is meant by a training market, the constraints upon that market and how it can be improved.
Co-hosted by NCVER and Skills Victoria, discussion focused on six essays commissioned by NCVER in which economists and educators consider the training market. Some participants saw the feature of a training market—consumer choice—as fundamental but others disputed its importance.
