A new paper produced by Bridget Wibrow's and published by NCVER, brought the Employability Skills back to the big table.
These employability skills, are indeed work skills such as solving problems, using mathematical techniques and so on, which are indispensable to be effective in the workplace, and therefore must be embedded into training courses; even into the higher education sector.
National Quality Council published an interesting set of resources designed to support Assessors by presenting guidelines and put light into some key areas.
A number of mechanisms, or potential mechanisms, for enhancing quality assurance, quality control and quality review within the Australian VET sector have been addressed with a pedagogic approach throughout these publications.
A research recently published by NCVER, shows some important information about the VET workforce. The mentioned study focuses on a critical aspect of the vocational education and training (VET) workforce: initial VET teacher training. It has identified the generic teacher education courses offered both by the VET and higher education sectors, ranging from the Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (now the Certificate IV in Training and Education) to graduate diplomas. The certificate IV is not only the most significant in student number terms, but it is also the one true initial qualification. All the others are post-initial and targeted at teachers with some experience.
