To ensure NCVER's full resources – quantitative and qualitative – are used to their maximum potential, all our work is organised into five themes: students and individuals, teaching and learning, industry and employers, VET system and VET in context.
In the context of VET, learning can be seen as building skills for a current or future job. The diversity of VET clients and their sites of learning has implications for the way they learn.
Good teaching is about the facilitation of learning rather than the transmission of knowledge from the teacher to the learner. This means the VET professional must be able to help people learn to learn, as well as to teach and assess people aiming to become competent at specific tasks.
