International Onshore VET Qualification Completer Outcomes 2020. Australian Vocational Education and Training Statistics
National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER)
This publication provides a summary of the outcomes of international students who completed a nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) qualification in Australia during 2019 using data collected in mid-2020. These students were surveyed as an additional component to the 2020 National Student Outcomes Survey. Information is presented on international onshore VET qualification completers' reasons for training and their employment outcomes, their satisfaction with training and further study outcomes. Note this group was called 'international onshore VET graduates' in previous years' publications. Overall, 15,521 international onshore VET qualification completers responded to the survey. Highlights include: 69.0 per cent of international onshore qualification completers undertook training for employment-related reasons, 26.7 per cent for personal reasons, and 4.2 per cent for further study reasons; the main reason for training reported in 2020 was to 'develop or start my own business', up 3.2 percentage points from 2019 while to 'get a job' decreased by 4.5 percentage points from 2019; 87.7 per cent achieved their main reason for training, down 1.1 percentage points from 2019; 53.7 per cent had an improved employment status after training, down 4.0 percentage points from 2019; of those who were employed after training, 68.3 per cent had their hours reduced after the start of the [Coronavirus Disease 2019] COVID-19 pandemic; and 83.7 per cent were satisfied with the overall quality of training, down 0.8 percentage points from 2019.
