The Victorian Skills Authority (VSA), in partnership with AVETRA, is now calling for formal Expressions of Interest from Australian Vocational Education and Training researchers or a research team for Project 6 - ‘Recognition of Prior Learning’

FOCUS OF THIS RESEARCH INSIGHT
The Victorian Skills Authority (VSA) is seeking to commission a research team / researcher to provide research insights about opportunities to develop and apply different approaches to ‘recognition of prior learning’ in the vocational education and training system. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) refers to the process of assessing someone’s relevant prior learning and existing skills to grant formal recognition.  The process of RPL is accepted by the Australian Qualifications Framework and regulated under the Standards for RTOs, but a range of barriers exist (for employers, learners and institutions alike) that can limit the application of RPL in practice.

To submit an EOI for this project, please read the the research brief and use the EOI template provided. Expressions of interest are due by Wednesday 12th February 2025.
