This study canvassed the views of stakeholders in order to identify the key features of quality teaching in vocational education and training (VET) and how it might be improved. It also involved an environmental scan of VET capability frameworks and standards to determine key domains, roles and capabilities of VET teachers, and three case studies of pilot teacher professional development (PD) initiatives currently underway to improve the quality of teaching. The report also makes reference to key related findings in the literature.
Part 3: examines the experiences of the traditional trade apprentice through findings from the 2019 Apprentice and Trainee Experience and Destination Survey.
This report uses an integrated dataset to investigate the post-school employment and training destinations of secondary school students who undertook VET for secondary school students (VET in schools) programs in 2011.
This project represents the second phase of a study investigating the extent to which the traditional approach to trade apprenticeships still has merit. Field consultation confirms strong support for continuing the traditional combination of on-and-off-the-job training under a training contract.
Part one of a three-part suite investigating the extent to which the traditional approach to trade apprenticeships still has merit, or if it requires adjustments to make it more relevant to current needs.
