About
NCVER's national research forum When one door closes: VET’s role in re-skilling displaced workers was held on Wednesday 18 November 2015 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.
In addition to hearing the findings from national and international research about how governments and communities are working together to help displaced workers transition to new jobs, the program also featured two interactive panel discussions. Speakers from industry, government and training organisations shared insights from successful training and re-skilling initiatives that lead to successful skills transfer and the attainment of jobs, and the role VET plays in re-skilling displaced workers and how the sectors is preparing for the future. The latter panel discussion was facilitated by John Ross from The Australian.
