One month to submit your abstract: No Frills 2016
Whether you’re a new or established researcher don’t miss your opportunity to present at the 25th National Vocational Education and Training Research Conference 'No Frills' .
We are now accepting abstracts for both presentations and poster sessions that showcase research on vocational education and training. The conference highlights (but is not limited to) research across three themes:
- Equity: supporting diversity through promoting inclusive training opportunities for all Australians
- Engagement: students, providers, employers and government working together to improve access, participation and outcomes from training
- Evolution: developing a skilled and flexible workforce to adapt to rapid technological change in the workplace, and to improve national competitiveness.
This year’s conference is being held from Monday 4 July – Wednesday 6 July at CQUniversity’s impressive Rockhampton North campus in Queensland.
Call for presentations and poster sessions closes on Monday 22 February 2016.
