About

Wednesday 8 December 2021, 2.00pm - 2.40pm (ACDT)

Many countries, including Australia, are experiencing a shortage of VET teachers, trainers and assessors. Industry experts are best placed to help address this, but how do we support them to become VET practitioners?

Join Darryl Dymock and Mark Tyler of Griffith University as they discuss the findings of their recently released NCVER report 'Attracting industry experts to become VET practitioners: a journey, not a destination' at this FREE webinar.

The research found that becoming a VET practitioner is an ongoing journey, not a destination, involving: vocational and educational preparation, a transition to VET, and continuing practice and updating of skills to maintain the dual professionalism that is required to train, assess and respond to the changing needs of industry.
