The statement of 16 March 2011 refers to a total of approximately 15,000 training places funded through the following State initiatives:
· Priority Training Places ($19.4 million in 2010/11 and 2011-12 for 7,600 training places); and
· Critical Skills ($22.7 million in 2011-12 for 7,500 training places)
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 and region in which the training is delivered.
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, which do not directly correspond with financial year funding allocations.
Achievements for the 2009 and 2010 calendar years are provided below and represent growth based on the 2008 calendar year delivery levels.
(1) Using 2008 as the base, 7 331 additional course enrolments were delivered in 2009 and 13 126 additional course enrolments were delivered in 2010.
(2) (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.
(2) (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.
(3) (a) There was no additional demand for apprenticeship training places from industry in 2009 or 2010.
(3) (b) 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.
