    Conference Theme: 

    Impetus and Impact: Research that Challenges and Shapes VET Policy and Practice - A Journey from Kangan to the Future

    As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Kangan Report, our conference theme, "Impetus and Impact: Research that Challenges and Shapes VET Policy and Practice," calls for a reflective and forward-looking dialogue on the role of vocational education and training (VET) in shaping our economic and social landscapes, especially in the context of a more integrated tertiary sector.

    This theme is a call to action for educators, policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers to share insights, challenges, and innovations. It celebrates research as a catalyst for significant educational and workforce development outcomes, offering a bridge from historical milestones to future aspirations. In celebrating the legacy of the Kangan Report, which championed rigorous research and academic distinction, we delve into the symbiotic relationship between empirical evidence and its practical implementation.

    This examination is particularly crucial to foster a more nuanced, evidence-driven understanding of vocational learning's potential to shape futures that acknowledges the unique characteristics and demands of VET.

    Registrations are now open, and you can learn more about the conference by visiting the conference website.

    AVETRA VS October Webinar
    Researching for VET policy and practice: insights from the AVETRA-VSA partnership projects

    Tuesday 29th October
    1:00 - 2:00pm

    AVETRA has been engaged by the Victorian Skills Authority (VSA), an Administrative Office of the Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions for a two-year programme to commission Australian VET researchers to produce ‘Research Insights’. These Research Insights will translate findings and evidence from existing research into critical policy facing outputs. This webinar will feature a panel of researchers who have led the first three projects completed as part of the partnership. The panel will share key learnings from their projects and share reflections on the experience of working in partnership with government to prepare research insights that speak to implications for VET policy and policymaking.

    Host: Kira Clarke, Principal Research Fellow in Education, Skills & Training, Social Policy and Research Centre, Brotherhood of St. Laurence and AVETRA President

    Panel:
    Dr. Seth Brown, Head and Coordinator, UNEVOC Centre, RMIT University (Project 1 focused on student voice in VET)

    Professor Erica Smith, Federation University (Project 2 focus on the role of industry in VET)

    Jessica Corbett, Chief of Campus Operations & Technology, Chisholm Institute (Project 3 focused on Centres of Excellence)
