The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Policy was adopted almost a decade ago. This publication reviews and addresses how the policy came about and, more importantly, what it has achieved since its inception.
This synthesis of the 11 reviews of research brings together recent Australian research literature covering a range of key VET issues. Authors are drawn from a cross-section of Australia's foremost VET researchers. Topics include: aspects of enterprise learning in the workplace, returns to enterprises from investment in training, vocational education and small business, training markets, entry-level training, vocational education in schools, public and private training providers, flexible delivery, assessor training, quality assurance and the use of evaluation in the VET sector.
This volume is a key information resource for all who are interested in the impact of market developments in VET. The papers are clustered in three broad themes: the VET training product and the providers; client perspective: industry and enterprise; and client perspective: students and trainees.
