❓ Ljiljanna Ravlich asks about the allocation of additional training places funded by the government in 2009-10, specifically regarding TAFE, RTOs, apprenticeships, and traineeships, broken down by calendar year. The answer details the difficulty in isolating the impact of specific funding initiatives due to aggregated funding sources, but provides data on additional course enrolments delivered by different providers in 2009 and 2010 compared to a 2008 baseline.

The response on Thursday 4 November 2010 to the Estimates and Financial Operations Committee, Questions on Notice Supplementary Information No A5 refers to a total of 7,600 training places funded through the State Government Priority Training Places initiative ($19.4 million in 2010-11 for 7,600 training places).
This additional funding is aggregated with other funding such as State and Commonwealth funds provided under the National Agreement on Skills and Workforce Development and the National Partnership on Productivity Places Program, to purchase annual training places across the State's vocational education sector.
As a number of funding sources may contribute to the purchase of any single training place, it is not possible to identify the number of training places purchased under separate funding initiatives.
Annual course enrolments are used to measure training activity and are reported on a calendar year basis through national AVETMISS data collection protocols that do not directly correspond with financial year funding allocations.
The target number of places is a nominal allocation as the number of training places purchased will vary depending on the qualification level, type of program, region in which the training is delivered and industry demand.
Achievements for the 2009 and 2010 calendar years are provided below and represent growth based on the 2008 calendar year delivery levels. Delivery level achievements for 2011 are not available at this time. It is anticipated that approximately 15,000 additional course enrolments will be contracted during 2011. The AVETMISS data collection for 2011 will be available in April 2012.
(1)(a) Using 2008 as the base, State Training Providers delivered an additional 563 course enrolments in 2009 and an additional 1,258 course enrolments in 2010.
(b) Using 2008 as the base, private registered training organisations delivered an additional 6,768 course enrolments in 2009 and an additional 11,868 course enrolments in 2010.
(c) There was no additional demand for apprenticeship training places from industry in 2009 or 2010.
(d) Using 2008 as the base, 1,059 additional traineeship course enrolments were delivered in 2009 and 2,259 additional traineeship course enrolments were delivered in 2010.
(2)(a) Using 2008 as the base, 7,331 additional course enrolments were delivered in 2009.
(b) Using 2008 as the base, 13,126 additional course enrolments were delivered in 2010.
