The Victorian Skills Plan for 2023 into 2024 provides a roadmap for a learner-focused, responsive, and integrated post-secondary system
Victoria’s TAFE Network; training providers; adult, community and further education sector; and higher education institutions have a critical role to play in delivering Victoria’s skills roadmap.
Key statistics from the Victorian Skills Plan for 2023 into 2024
- 352,000 new workers expected to enter the Victorian economy between 2023 and 2026
- 64% of new workers will need higher-order skills.
The skills plan recognises the need for Victoria’s post-secondary system to further improve vocational education and training (VET) graduate outcomes, meet the aspirations of learners, lift participation in education and training, and deliver higher-order and transferable skills.

Pursuing VET qualification redesign
- Streamlining learning pathways through skills ministers’ work on VET qualification redesign
- Trialling new approaches to designing VET qualifications through local accreditation.
Lifting participation in education and training
