State Training Board

State Training Profile

The State Training Board, in accordance with the Vocational Education and Training Act 1996, prepares for the Minister of Education and Training a State Training Profile ('the Profile').

The Profile provides a planning framework for the Western Australian Vocational Education and Training (VET) system to respond to the current and future skills requirements faced by industry and business in an economy that is undergoing an unprecedented boom.

The Profile provides a detailed analysis of training need versus effort by industry areas and outlines the developments and issues for each of these industry areas over the short to medium term.

The Profile sets out training priorities and targets as identified by the State Training Board which are used to inform the planning and purchasing of publicly funded training in Western Australia.

Included in the Profile are the workforce development and training needs of the nine non-metropolitan regions in Western Australia. Each regional profile includes details of the publicly funded delivery planned for each of the regional communities.

The State Training Board acknowledges the contribution that industry, the Industry Training Advisory Bodies and the Department of Education and Training make to the development of the Profile.

The attached links provide access to the State Training Profile 2008 to 2010.
