Department Of Training and Workforce Development — staff transfer

Extract from Hansard

5668. Hon Alison Xamon to the minister representing the Minister for Training and Workforce Development

I refer to recent staffing changes at the Department of Training and Workforce Development and specifically the transfer of K–12 full time equivalents (FTEs) to the Department of Education, and I ask —

(1) As a result of this transfer do the FTEs responsible for Vocational Education and Training in Schools and other training programs for students who have not yet completed year 12 now work out of the Department of Education?

(2) Does this transfer include FTEs who work on Department of Training and Workforce Development initiatives for school aged apprentices and trainees?

(3) If yes to (1) or (2), what implications will this have for the operation of training programs for school aged students in training?

Hon PETER COLLIER replied:

(1)–(2) No.

(3) Not applicable.
