- Generally, qualifications are viewed by employers as serving
two purposes: as a ‘gate-keeping’ mechanism at point
of recruitment of new employees and as a development tool, providing
a career pathway for existing employees.
- Compliance with external regulations and/or standards emerges
as a key motivator for acceptance of formal qualifications by
employers.
- Different interpretations of what is meant by the terms ‘qualifications’,
‘competency’ and ‘work-related learning’
influence the value which individual employers place on them.
Training providers may also have a different understanding of
these terms.
- An innovative and responsive partnership between training providers
and employers is more likely to make employers view vocational
education and training (VET) qualifications positively.
