VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:06): Could the minister advise just how many of those VET students who have graduated have now got full-time jobs?

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (15:07): What I can advise with great confidence is that, since this government came to office in 2002, we have created more than 130,000 new jobs. I am happy to provide the data if it exists, but I am sure that many of the 130,000 new jobs have been filled by people from our training sector.
