Tertiary education makes a significant contribution to the lives of individuals and to the social and cultural landscape of the nation. It is fundamental to the future of Australia.
Higher education underpins the growing knowledge and innovation based economic wealth of Australia and has the potential not only to drive productivity but also to empower individuals and help overcome disadvantage.
The training and skills sector, also known as vocational education and training or VET, gives Australians the opportunity to gain the skills they need to enter the workforce for the first time, re-enter the workforce, retrain for a new job or upgrade their skills for an existing job.
