Call for papers open
Researchers, VET practitioners and industry representatives are invited to present at the 24th National Vocational Education and Training Research Conference ‘No Frills’ on 6-8 July 2015 in Sydney.
We seek presentations that showcase quality research based on sound evidence, a focus on findings and recommendations that can be applied to the wider VET sector.
Co-hosted with the University of Western Sydney and TAFE NSW’s South Western Sydney and Western Sydney Institutes, the conference will highlight (but is not limited to) research across three themes:
- Youth: engaging, inspiring and supporting students to realise their potential
- Pathways: transitioning through education and training into the workforce
- Skills: working with industry and employers to improve education and training
Submissions close Monday 16 February 2015.

Attention RTOs - AVETMISS data submission
The submission window for the collection of total VET activity data is now open.
January is a busy time for RTOs, and we know some of you have already validated and submitted your 2014 data - congratulations to the early birds!
If you are an RTO who has yet to submit your data, please be aware that time is fast approaching the 27 February 2015 deadline for reporting your 2014 accredited training activity to NCVER.
If you have not already registered to use the AVETMISS validation software (AVS) now is a good time to do so. Don’t forget to set your organisation’s roles and responsibilities in AVS before attempting validation. See our Users guide under the resources tab for more information.
If you're unsure how to validate and submit your data, NCVER has developed a factsheet that sets out where, when and how to report AVETMISS data.
Or why not join our many satisfied customers by contacting NCVER's Client Support team on 08 8230 8400 or 1800 649 452 or support@ncver.edu.au for further assistance.
“I have been battling my way through uploading my AVETMISS lodgement over the past few days and have had to contact your team on numerous occasions. They were always extremely helpful, professional and really, really nice making my experience dealing with NCVER a positive one”. – Satisfied RTO
