A series of workshops and information sessions were delivered across the University as well as support resources and information posted on the AQPVTE website to better inform staff and build a knowledge base of accreditation requirements. There was also development of processes, proformas and exemplars for the VTE Scope of Registration process, together with small group or one-on-one support to embed AQTF requirements into day to-day practice. Specifi c initiatives to improve higher education students experience of teaching and learning included: preparing and publishing on the internet recommended study plans for all Higher Education courses expansion of opportunity to exit with alternative awards from a higher level program review of the eligibility and processes for students from non-Englishspeaking backgrounds. The University experienced strong mid-year enrolment to higher education programs in 2006, with overall higher education load increasing by close to 150 equivalent full-time students compared with 2005. The University delivered training in over 100 locations in 2006, and committed to delivery and assessment based on national training packages. In 2006, of the 564 qualifi cations/courses delivered, 523 (93 percent) were from a national training package. The management of the VTE profi le was a key focus in 2006 and the University reported improved achievement against targets for 2006: apprenticeships and traineeships: delivered 386,000 AHC (99.7 percent achievement against target) recurrent-funded training: delivered 1,763,00 AHC (96.5 percent against target). There were strong employment outcomes reported in 2006 for graduates in accountancy, with 100 percent of students fi nding employment within a three month period. Results of the 2005 national Student Outcomes Survey conducted by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research Ltd, published in 2006, revealed that 84 percent of Charles Darwin University VTE graduates were employed on completion of their course, with CDU graduates most likely to enter government administration, defence, retail trade and health and community services. Courses being delivered by CDU were regarded as highly relevant in the workforce, with 83 percent of respondents reporting that their employment allowed them to use their skills and abilities. Graduates were overwhelmingly satisfi ed with the course they completed, with 73 percent of graduates feeling they had achieved their main reason for undertaking the VET course they had enrolled in. The Universitys standing as a VTE provider was enhanced by the award of Training Provider of the Year at the 2006 Department of Employment Education and Training NT Training Awards.
