Moreover, the institutions themselves need to establish an appropriate method for tracking graduates as a way of informing curriculum - and understanding more comprehensively how education meets the needs of society and the economy. The Victorian Government could take the lead in setting up a national database to track the progress of students. No system-wide data is publicly available on the extent to which academics or students in Victorian tertiary education institutions are engaged with industry and the public sector through their normal teaching and learning and related research.
