National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER)
The public health measures established to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic have created uncertain economic conditions in Australia, significantly impacting on the activities of businesses. As the country continues to adjust to living with the virus, it is important that the vocational education and training (VET) sector understands the skill needs of employers as they navigate the accelerating technological advances and the structural changes to the economy created by the pandemic. Using findings from the 2021 Survey of Employer Use and Views of the VET System and other complementary sources, this report examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on employers and its effects on their training choices.
