Dear TDN members

This summary, from the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER), provides a profile of both TAFE institutes and private providers in the provision of publicly funded vocational education and training (VET). It provides data on student characteristics and outcomes, which demonstrate the extent of variation in the sector in 2006.
