The CCA CEO has been quoted in The Australian newspaper on 22 October 2014, about the the New South Wales Government’s introduction of the new vocational education and training (VET) scheme, known as “Smart and Skilled”.
The paper quoted CCA CEO Kate Davidson, as saying that some CCA members:
“had been offered as little as one percent of their allocations under the approved providers list, the existing contestable funding arrangement … The new market disadvantaged far more community colleges than it benefited, with some managers now wondering how to run registered training operations on government funding of less than $4000 a year.”
