What’s in the 2022-23 Victorian budget for VET

By Dev | Monday, 23 May 2022

The Victorian budget for 2022-23 was handed down by the Victorian treasurer Tim Pallas on 3 May.

It is wide ranging, but in VET terms touches on two key issues: VET delivered in secondary schools and approaches to skilling Victorians.

What can better networking help us do?

By Dev | Monday, 23 May 2022

In one of the other articles in this issue of VDC News we talked about the importance of networks for VET staff and suggested there is a need to refocus on them as a means of improving quality.

Let’s now focus on what a 2006 paper said about what networks we might consider and what they can help us do.

Networking: a key to quality?

By Dev | Monday, 23 May 2022

Professional learning networks: are these something we need to be taking more seriously now?

Networks, communities of practice and special interest groups have been around for a long time in VET, but maybe the time is ripe to re-invigorate and better support the concept?

Details of ASQA’s draft self-assurance model released

By VDC | Monday, 23 May 2022

ASQA has developed and released details of its “draft model for self-assurance” using a co-design process with the sector and other stakeholders.

The link above also includes a summary of what they have been told about what the self-assurance process needs to involve. This is a really good read and we recommend you have a look at it!

How has COVID affected employers training choices?

By VDC | Wednesday, 16 February 2022

This latest report from NCVER, released in early February 2022, reports on how Australian employers have been affected by the pandemic and how, in turn, this has affected their current and future training requirements.

The report found that nearly a third of employers are expecting to increase the amount of training they provide to their staff in the next 12 months. Digital skills are a key training need, as are health and safety and infection control.

ISS Institute Fellowship now open

By VDC | Wednesday, 16 February 2022

More than ever, Australia needs a skilled community of scholars, teachers, craftspeople, tradespeople, professionals, care workers, innovators, artists, and creatives.

Applications are open between 1 February – 8 April 2022     

Can we develop a common definition of micro-credentials?

By VDC | Wednesday, 16 February 2022

In 2021 UNESCO published a preliminary “conversation starter” on micro-credentials authored by Deakin University’s Emeritus Professor Beverley Oliver.

The paper suggests that “acceptance and recognition of micro-credentials by employers and policy makers is hampered because, among other challenges, there is no universally recognised definition that clearly communicates to lay users, particularly learners and employers, what micro-credentials are.”

What factors influence employers’ decisions when choosing training options?

By VDC | Wednesday, 2 February 2022

Veteran VET researchers Kaye Bowman and Victor Callan looked at what influences employers to engage with the national VET system and nationally recognised training.

Developing closer partnerships between employers and registered training organisations is the challenge, and the key, in upskilling the Australian workforce and addressing skills shortages.
