The rise of Industry 4.0 and the digital economy has highlighted the need for the general workforce to have digital skills. How can the VET sector ensure the workforce is appropriately skilled to respond to this challenge?

This interactive focus session will explore research and case studies on how to incorporate digital skills into VET delivery.

We anticipate that participants will come away with a deeper understanding of good practice when it comes to incorporating digital skills into VET delivery.

INCORPORATING DIGITAL SKILLS INTO VET

This series consists of two separate but related focus sessions.

Implications for educators

Michelle Circelli, Bridget Wibrow, NCVER; Deniese Cox, Griffith University & Brenda Micale, South Metropolitan TAFE, WA.

In the first focus session we explored incorporating digital skills into VET delivery. But in a world where technology is rapidly evolving, what does this mean for VET educators?

Through a discussion of case studies and research this interactive session will focus on the implications of Industry 4.0 for VET educators given the increasing need to include digital skills in VET delivery.

We anticipate that participants will come away with a deeper understanding of ways to develop and maintain their own digital skills capability.

25 years of LSAY: understanding and using data from the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth

Ronnie Semo & Emerick Chew, NCVER

For over 20 years the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) has provided researchers, policy-makers and educators with a valuable resource for capturing the pathways of young people as they make their way from school to post-school education and training and into the workforce.

To date, more than 60 000 young people have participated in LSAY across six distinct cohorts, providing a vast evidence base for exploring youth transitions over the decades.

This workshop will introduce participants to LSAY and the many resources available to help use and understand the data. Highlights from over two decades of LSAY research will be presented to demonstrate how the data can be used to answer a broad range of research questions.
