About

The 29th National VET Research Conference ‘No Frills’ was held ONLINE for the first time.

The theme Workforce ready: challenges and opportunities for VET encouraged us to explore what ‘workforce ready’ means for VET, especially in light of the substantial job losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
