Calling all AVETRA members, VET researchers and stakeholders!

Share your research with your colleagues and peers through AVETRA’s Research Today magazine.

AVETRA is Australasia's only national, independent association of researchers in vocational education and training (VET). Amongst the range of services AVETRA offers, we produce VET research publications including Research Today – an electronic magazine that shares and celebrates VET practitioner research. This may be research about VET or research and innovation with and for VET’s industry and community partners.

Guidelines:

• Articles should be of around 1000-1500 words and on topics of interest to AVETRA members and the wider VET community (including researchers, academics, VET practitioners and other stakeholders).
• Articles on VET practitioner-led and applied research are especially welcome.
• Articles should include the aims of the research, how information was collected, and key findings.
• If you refer to academic literature, your piece should include the references and a reference list.
• If you refer to information owned by your industry or community partner, it is vital that the partner has granted permission for you to submit your article.
• The addition of diagrams or a picture is also welcome. 

Those preparing their first article may find the attached guide, useful.

Contributions are due by Friday 8 May 2026.

If you or your colleagues would like to contribute to the magazine, then please contact AVETRA at avetra@avetra.org.au
