Over 2.2m Australians in 2020-21 undertook work-related training on-line – more than half the total number of 15-74 year olds learning for work

It’s a thumping increase in five years, from 19 per cent in 2016-17 to 55 per cent in the last financial year.

The significant stats are in new work-related training data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

A bunch of the growth might be COVID caused, in Victoria, over 60 per cent of people undertaking training were on-line, compared to around 45 per cent in not locked-down WA.
