Springvale East
In what fields are we qualified?
Derived from the Census question, "Print your highest qualification level and the main subject."
Relates only to persons aged 15 years or more.
The field of qualification information indicates, for the highest qualification the person has received, what was the primary field of study. This is likely to have some relationship to the person’s current occupation, but this is not necessarily the case. The field of study relates to a number of factors, such as:
- the age of the population;
- the aspirations of people to enter a particular industry or profession;
- the availability of jobs related to fields of qualification, and;
- the types of occupations which are available in an area or industry.
In Springvale East, the population's field of qualifications, in conjunction with Income statistics, Occupation and Educational Qualifications, is an important indicator of the skills that are available in the community.
