VSA/AVETRA RESEARCH INSIGHTS PARTNERSHIP Project 6 : ‘Recognition of Prior Learning’ Report The sixth research project funded by the Australasian VET Research Association and the Victorian Skills Authority, focused on recognition of prior learning. Researchers:
ABOUT PROJECT 6The Victorian Skills Authority (VSA) commissioned a research team to generate insights into opportunities to develop and apply different approaches to ‘recognition of prior learning’ (RPL) within the vocational education and training system. The project aimed to provide policymakers with a high-level overview of how RPL was conceptualised and applied in the Australian VET system, including an examination of the key enablers and barriers that influenced its use. The primary output was a description of national and international best practice in the application of RPL, along with the identification of opportunities to apply these approaches within the Victorian VET sector. The findings from this project were designed to inform the development of the Victorian VET Workforce Strategy and support the Victorian Government in considering possible approaches to address the recommendations of the Qualifications Reform Design Group Final Report, as well as actions identified in the Victorian Skills Plans and the Economic Growth Statement. The following report outlines the key findings and insights that emerged from this research. |
AVETRA has been engaged by the Victorian Skills Authority (VSA) for a two-year programme to engage Australian VET researchers to produce ‘Research Insights’.
These Research Insights will translate findings and evidence from existing research into critical policy facing outputs. The Victorian Skills Authority (VSA) provides financial support to AVETRA under a grant agreement to support AVETRA members’ research activities. Although the VSA is providing financial support for this research, the research is not a statement of Victorian Government policy. The Victorian Government provides no endorsement of the research’s content, recommendations, or findings. By sharing the final research insight, VSA makes no representation about the Victorian Government’s intention to implement any recommendations or findings identified in the research.
