Training, Placement & Transport Study
During September to October 2025, we ask the community if transport is a major challenge for young people, job seekers and adult learners in accessing education and training opportunities.
The goal was to determine if a mobility program is needed and, if so, how could it work, and what models would be sustainable?
We heard from
Residents
Jobseekers and career changers
Adult learners and up-skillers
Parents & carers of school leavers
Training providers and employers
Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete this survey.
This initiative stems from the 2024–2029 Economic Development and Tourism Strategy, which identified workforce development as a key priority.

The Training, Placement and Transport Survey was conducted between September and October 2025 to explore transport-related barriers impacting access to education and training for residents of the Rural City of Wangaratta and surrounding communities.
The purpose of the survey was to understand the challenges faced by young people (16–25), jobseekers, and adult learners in reaching training locations, and to identify potential solutions that align with Council’s role in advocacy and facilitation.
Share the results with training providers to help them gain deeper insights into their programs and work together on advocating for improved transport services.
Explore incentives such as fuel vouchers through partnerships or grants.
Advocate the government to decrease the age of learners obtaining their P plates to the age of 17.
Advocate to Public Transport Victoria (PTV) for improved timetables and routes to serve smaller communities and TAFE campuses.
