A sustainable pipeline of new, skilled professionals is critical to address the skills gaps and workforce shortages in the care and support sectors. The Enrolments and Completions Research project will explore the complex reasons behind the relatively low number of care and support qualification completions in comparison to enrolments and completions across all other vocational education and training qualifications.
We will engage with a range of stakeholders including current and former learners, training providers and industry to identify factors that influence whether a student completes their training. These insights will inform practical recommendations to support learner progression and qualification completion.
We welcome interested stakeholders to share their views, experiences and strategies at our upcoming in-person consultation workshops.
Please note we will also be holding online workshops following these events (details to be confirmed), to ensure all stakeholder have an opportunity to share their insights and experiences.
