Skills for All

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): Is the minister saying that she has no knowledge of how you measure the number, or quantify the success of the SkillsĀ forĀ All program by having any figure to say how many of these people who undertake courses actually get a job?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:26): I don't have those figures with me but, as I said, I am happy to take that on notice and bring back a response. The success of Skills for All is determined in a number of ways: obviously, one is enrolments in the first place; looking at completion rates is another way; and also, of course, the linking up with jobs. So I don't have those figures but, as I said, I am happy to take that on notice and bring back a response.
