The VET scheme is allowing aspiring pilots the chance to gain their licence quickly and at a lower age. We all know that airlines want 24 year olds with 45 year of experience. When recently asked to provide input to government on the VET scheme my organisation suggested that a simple way to police the scheme would be regular reporting on students enrolled and Diploma's issued. Only an out of control system could pay any educator millions and see hardly any qualifications issued. Pass rates are important which means entry assesments are vital. The minister should immediately call for reporting from all sectors on course cost, pass rates, award pay rates for the qualification .
After all a person who does a make up and nail decoration course is unlikely to ever repay the debt. I would think that a lowly 2nd officer with any of the airlines would certainly be in the income bracket to repay their debt.
Government needs to be accountable for its expenditure and the results.
Will they shut down Centrelink payments because some choose to de fraud the system.
