3.11: National Reform
National reform in education, skills and early childhood development . Other Information:
New investment in vocational education and training, including the establishment and development of the Canberra Institute
of Technology Vocational College, positions the ACT to take full advantage of the additional 630,000 training places being
provided by the Federal Government. About one-third of the places are allocated to people currently outside or marginally
attached to the workforce, and the flexibility and tailored training options offered by the Vocational College are designed
specifically to meet such needs. The remainder of the places will be allocated to skills upgrades for people already in the
workforce. The ACT is funding state-of-the-art equipment and flexible options such as e-learning that support the skills development
needs of employed people. With the ACT ageing faster than any other jurisdiction, the ACT Government’s strategic infrastructure
investments are designed to maximise workforce participation.
