Dr Anne Beugalaar, AVT Director commented, “Our results highlight the strength of our connections with industry and the importance of training that reflects real workplace expectations. By working closely with veterinary practices, shelters and animal care organisations, we ensure our students are developing skills that are relevant for industry.
These outcomes show that when training is practical, supported and aligned with industry needs, it creates genuine opportunities for students to succeed and progress in their careers.”
AVT supports a diverse range of students, from those entering the workforce for the first time to those already working in animal care or veterinary settings.
The 2025 data highlights that:
- nearly 80% of students were already employed before training, many of whom progressed into more advanced roles
- over a quarter moved into higher-skilled positions after completing their course
This reflects AVT’s role not only as a training provider, but as a pathway for career development within the animal care industry.
