Pocket guide: Australian Vocational Education and Training Statistics

TDN members

NCVER has produced a pocket guide containing data from 2007 vocational education and training (VET) statistics collections. The document includes key data on students and courses, apprentices and trainees training activity, graduates, the financial operations of the VET system, and employers' use and views of the VET system. I have included the link so, you can download the pdf document

Cross cultural training and work performance report

Dear TDN members
I found this interesting report produced by NCVER which confirms the value of cross-cultural training in developing the cultural competence needed by employees to work effectively with culturally diverse co-workers and customers. The survey has also reported that participants have improved workplace performance and cultural self-awareness, with most indicating they would like further cross-cultural training
