NSW ITABs have a contractual relationship with the NSW Department of Education and Communities to provide an independent voice on skill needs, training and workforce development issues for each of the industries they represent. ITABs work to maximise the benefits to industry through the vocational education and training (VET) system and promote industry participation in structured training. |

NSW ITABs have tri-partite boards with employer, peak and union representation maintaining their industry relevance and overseeing governance requirements. Many have broader industry advisory groups ensuring immediate connection to current practices, issues affecting workplaces and emerging trends. |

VET in schools survey |
Vocational training in schools is an important part of the national training system and something that forms an important career pathway for many secondary school students. Known as Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETis) this learning pathway often includes valuable work placement and employers play a vital role in enabling students to gain exposure to a real workplace. Your contribution in supporting work placement activities is key to the success of this program and a short survey has been produced to gather your own insights into this activity. Due to the design of the survey the drop-down menu is not active in all of the responses and where this is the case just drop your response into the dialogue box under the question. Your contribution to this important feedback survey is appreciated. Click here to take survey |

School-based apprenticeships in NSW
The benefits to be gained by students within NSW in undertaking school-based apprenticeships are many. A more seamless transition from school to work will result, as well as providing students with a far greater range of options for participation in VET. This type of initiative can only assist in overcoming the skills shortages that currently occur within the automotive sectors. It can also provide a meaningful pathway for those students who wish to combine their schooling with a practical skill that will best meet their future needs.
