The gap is widening between knowledge generated through Australia's training system, and the skills demanded by employers.
This study examines where and how NCVER's research has influenced vocational education and training (VET) policy and practice.
The implementation and management of recognition of prior learning (RPL) by registered training organisations following the introduction of Australian Quality Training Framework standards are reviewed in this report. Proposals to support registered training organisations' compliance with RPL in the standards are also included. The report is based on work commissioned by the Australian National Training Authority to identify and analyse the barriers that affect the implementation of RPL, and to advise the National Training Quality Council.
