The Role of AI in Vocational Education
In today’s rapidly evolving job market, vocational education and training (VET) are more critical than ever. With 56.8% of employers utilising VET-accredited training and 92.2% of trainees securing employment, integrating technology is vital. Getmee’s AI technology is at the forefront, enhancing the learning experience and making education more accessible and tailored to individual needs. With 80% of the assignments being completed outside of the classroom, the app has a 4.7 star rating and is 99% recommended by the user showing qualitative data is proving positive outcomes.
Skills Shortages continue to be a challenge for Australia
The Skills Priority List (SPL) by Jobs and Skills Australia continues to identify several key skills in shortage including professionals, technical and trade worker skills.
In the next 10 years, 9 out of 10 new jobs will require post-secondary qualifications.
Technology and innovation including AI for employability skills play a critical role in addressing the skills gap.
