6 objectives of VET Reform

1 A national VET system which is governed effectively with clear roles and responsibi l it ies

2 A national streamlined system that is able to respond flexibly to major national and state priorit ies and emerging areas of ski l ls need

3 Trade apprenticeships that are appropriately valued and uti l ised as a career pathway

4 A responsive national regulatory system that applies a risk-management approach

5 Informed consumers who have access to the information they need to make choices about providers and training that meets their needs

6 Targeted and efficient government funding that considers inconsistencies between jurisdictions or disruption to the fee-for-service market

whatrsquos already happened

REVIEW OF TRAINING PACKAGES AND ACCREDITED COURSES

The implementation of training packages rather than the design plays a more s ignif icant part in concerns over industry responsiveness and qual ity

Support in pr inciple for changing the nomenclature of training packages

Existing qual if ication design principles al low suff icient f lexibil i ty (through elective choice) for employers and individuals

More people than not were supportive of lower level qual if ications being preparatory in nature (broad with foundation ski l ls) and the higher Austral ian Qualif ications Framework (AQF) levels being special ised However this was general ly framed with the need for appropriate industry input

External assessment models being considered should be determined on a r isk basis and driven by an identif ied industry need

Continued support for ski l l sets

Key issues identified through national consultations

whatrsquos already happened

REVIEW OF TRAINING PACKAGES AND ACCREDITED COURSES

The implementation of training packages rather than the design plays a more s ignif icant part in concerns over industry responsiveness and qual ity

Support in pr inciple for changing the nomenclature of training packages

Existing qual if ication design principles al low suff icient f lexibil i ty (through elective choice) for employers and individuals

More people than not were supportive of lower level qual if ications being preparatory in nature (broad with foundation ski l ls) and the higher Austral ian Qualif ications Framework (AQF) levels being special ised However this was general ly framed with the need for appropriate industry input

External assessment models being considered should be determined on a r isk basis and driven by an identif ied industry need

Continued support for ski l l sets

Key issues identified through national consultations

Existing qual if ication design principles al low suff icient f lexibil i ty (through elective choice) for employers and individuals

More people than not were supportive of lower level qual if ications being preparatory in nature (broad with foundation ski l ls) and the higher Austral ian Qualif ications Framework (AQF) levels being special ised However this was general ly framed with the need for appropriate industry input

2 A national streamlined system that is able to respond flexibly to major national and state priorit ies and emerging areas of ski l ls need

3 Trade apprenticeships that are appropriately valued and uti l ised as a career pathway

4 A responsive national regulatory system that applies a risk-management approach

5 Informed consumers who have access to the information they need to make choices about providers and training that meets their needs

REVIEW OF TRAINING PACKAGES AND ACCREDITED COURSES

The implementation of training packages rather than the design plays a more s ignif icant part in concerns over industry responsiveness and qual ity

Support in pr inciple for changing the nomenclature of training packages

Existing qual if ication design principles al low suff icient f lexibil i ty (through elective choice) for employers and individuals

More people than not were supportive of lower level qual if ications being preparatory in nature (broad with foundation ski l ls) and the higher Austral ian Qualif ications Framework (AQF) levels being special ised However this was general ly framed with the need for appropriate industry input

External assessment models being considered should be determined on a r isk basis and driven by an identif ied industry need

6 objectives of VET Reform

1 A national VET system which is governed effectively with clear roles and responsibi l it ies

2 A national streamlined system that is able to respond flexibly to major national and state priorit ies and emerging areas of ski l ls need

3 Trade apprenticeships that are appropriately valued and uti l ised as a career pathway

4 A responsive national regulatory system that applies a risk-management approach

5 Informed consumers who have access to the information they need to make choices about providers and training that meets their needs

6 Targeted and efficient government funding that considers inconsistencies between jurisdictions or disruption to the fee-for-service market

1 National Workforce Development Fund (NWDF) abolished

2 Review of RTO data VET reporting requirements

3 Removal of financial viabil ity assessment as part of re-registration process

4 Establishment of Trade Support Loans (July 2014)

REVIEW OF TRAINING PACKAGES AND ACCREDITED COURSES

The implementation of training packages rather than the design plays a more s ignif icant part in concerns over industry responsiveness and qual ity

Support in pr inciple for changing the nomenclature of training packages

Existing qual if ication design principles al low suff icient f lexibil i ty (through elective choice) for employers and individuals

More people than not were supportive of lower level qual if ications being preparatory in nature (broad with foundation ski l ls) and the higher Austral ian Qualif ications Framework (AQF) levels being special ised However this was general ly framed with the need for appropriate industry input

External assessment models being considered should be determined on a r isk basis and driven by an identif ied industry need

6 objectives of VET Reform

1 A national VET system which is governed effectively with clear roles and responsibi l it ies

2 A national streamlined system that is able to respond flexibly to major national and state priorit ies and emerging areas of ski l ls need

3 Trade apprenticeships that are appropriately valued and uti l ised as a career pathway

4 A responsive national regulatory system that applies a risk-management approach

5 Informed consumers who have access to the information they need to make choices about providers and training that meets their needs

6 Targeted and efficient government funding that considers inconsistencies between jurisdictions or disruption to the fee-for-service market

1 National Workforce Development Fund (NWDF) abolished

2 Review of RTO data VET reporting requirements

3 Removal of financial viabil ity assessment as part of re-registration process

4 Establishment of Trade Support Loans (July 2014)

REVIEW OF TRAINING PACKAGES AND ACCREDITED COURSES

The implementation of training packages rather than the design plays a more s ignif icant part in concerns over industry responsiveness and qual ity

Support in pr inciple for changing the nomenclature of training packages

Existing qual if ication design principles al low suff icient f lexibil i ty (through elective choice) for employers and individuals

More people than not were supportive of lower level qual if ications being preparatory in nature (broad with foundation ski l ls) and the higher Austral ian Qualif ications Framework (AQF) levels being special ised However this was general ly framed with the need for appropriate industry input

External assessment models being considered should be determined on a r isk basis and driven by an identif ied industry need

Continued support for ski l l sets

REVIEW OF TRAINING PACKAGES AND ACCREDITED COURSES

The implementation of training packages rather than the design plays a more s ignif icant part in concerns over industry responsiveness and qual ity

Support in pr inciple for changing the nomenclature of training packages

Existing qual if ication design principles al low suff icient f lexibil i ty (through elective choice) for employers and individuals

More people than not were supportive of lower level qual if ications being preparatory in nature (broad with foundation ski l ls) and the higher Austral ian Qualif ications Framework (AQF) levels being special ised However this was general ly framed with the need for appropriate industry input

External assessment models being considered should be determined on a r isk basis and driven by an identif ied industry need

Continued support for ski l l sets

Key issues identified through national consultations
