Retention of staff in both the Aged Care sector and the Commercial Cookery sector (which sits within the Hospitality sector) has long been an issue. Poor perception of jobs in the sectors, coupled with lower pay rates than other industries, means that all too often, jobs in these sectors are considered short-term options, while candidates look to advance into other areas.

SkillsIQ engaged Wallis Market and Social Research to undertake this important research study in 2018 to better understand the perspectives of learners and to produce statistically robust data to measure vocational outcomes, satisfaction and the employment experiences of graduates who recently completed qualifications in:

• Aged Care; and
• Commercial Cookery
