  1. Factors affecting the current and future demand for the VET workforce, and the required mix of skills and knowledge
  2. The current and future supply of the VET workforce
  3. The structure of the workforce and its efficiency and effectiveness
  4. Workforce planning and development, including any changes to ongoing data collection to provide for future planning and reporting requirements.
