In July 2002, the Department of Education, Science and Training funded a consortium of the Allen Consulting Group, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) to undertake a project to analyse the costs of delivery of VET in Schools. The project surveyed schools across Australia to obtain data on four broad categories of direct costs for schools and non-school organisations.
This MCEETYA approved project, managed under the auspices of the Transition from School Taskforce, has allowed jurisdictions to work together in understanding similarities and differences and be in a strong position to investigate options in order to achieve cost efficiencies while maximising VET in School outcomes for students.
The project provides a snapshot of the costs involved with VET in Schools and the data collected shows that final cost outcomes are a reflection of many influences but delivery mode and jurisdiction are significant.
