Hear VET's role in re-skilling displaced workers here!
18 November, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre
There’s less than one month left to register for NCVER’s next national research forum that focuses on VET’s role in re-skilling displaced workers.

How can AVETMISS data reporting be improved? Let us know!
Training providers and student management system vendors, have your say about how we can streamline the AVETMIS Standard for VET Providers.
NCVER is reviewing the Standard with a view to improving data collection requirements while ensuring the AVETMIS Standard meets legislative and national reporting requirements.
