ESTC ‘Employment Skills Training Cluster’ is a government-funded locally recognised ‘Skill Cluster’. Skill Clusters are made up of either a single unit or a group of units (from any national training package or accredited course), where that group of units does not comprise either a full qualification or a skill set.
This page is designed to assist training providers report their ESTC training activity to STELA correctly to ensure the format complies with national AVETMISS reporting requirements and flows through to the Skills and Employment payment system.
