Who is involved in Industry Training?

There are around 180,000 people involved in industry skill development and workplace learning every year. This is about a quarter of all people involved in tertiary education (all learning after school).

Around 35,000 businesses and organisations of all sizes are involved in industry skill development, working with Industry Training Organisations (ITOs) and a large number of education and training providers, including polytechnics and private training establishments (PTEs).

Industry skill development and workplace learning are organised by Industry Training Organisations (ITOs). ITOs are set up by industries, and recognised by government, and receive funding from both industry and government.
