The Australian Government, in collaboration with states and territories, has released the VET Workforce Blueprint to help grow Australia’s VET workforce. It has been informed by expert advice from the VET Workforce Blueprint Steering Group and through consultations with VET sector stakeholders.
The VET Development Centre was highlighted as a case study for professional learning in the sector.
The Blueprint identifies 8 opportunities and 14 actions to attract, retain, develop and support the sustainability of Australia’s VET workforce. It provides a roadmap that will be responsive to changes in the VET sector and the economy.As part of its commitment to strengthening the VET workforce, the Australian Government is investing up to $100 million over 5 years through the National Skills Agreement to respond to the Blueprint. This includes $70 million for state and territory initiatives, with matched funding from states and territories, and $30 million to support agreed areas of national action.
