VET Sector News:
The Department of Employment and Workplace Relations has announced the release the VET Workforce blueprint: a national plan to address workforce challenges.
To support the Blueprint’s release, the Australian Government, in collaboration with states and territories, has announced an initial suite of foundational national actions. These include:
- occupational mapping for the VET workforce
- a VET workforce data strategy
- an ongoing research program for key workforce issues
- mapping and analysing compliance and administrative burden to inform strategies to reduce this burden
Many members of ACTA’s Adult ESOL Consultancy Group contributed to the development of this blueprint at a meeting held in December last year.
