    AVETRA VSA 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)

    Quantitative vs qualitative - how to choose your methodology 
    Hosted by Henry Pook

    This session will explore different research methodologies, including pros and cons of each, and pitfalls to watch out for. If you have a preference for one type of research, this might be able to help highlight the useful nature of other types of research. This will also explore how different research methodologies can be applied to specific research questions, and how best to design research methodology.

    Communicating your research
    Hosted by Henry Pook

    Communicating your research: 12-2pm  - Thursday 14 November

    Writing for Publication and Presenting at a Conference 
    If you want to be published, having an interesting, original topic is only part of what is required: how you write is as important as what you write. But how do you ‘write for publication’? What are the skills required? What strategies can you use to get your work published?? What are some useful guidelines for success? 
      
    Presenting at a conference.  
    This workshop is aimed at those who have never presented at a conference or have done so only a limited number of times. Focussing on the basics of conference presentation, it discusses tips for selecting the right conference at which to present, the different types of conference presentations, how to formulate an Abstract and choose a title, how to formulate the actual presentation itself and, finally, how to deliver it.
