This publication, edited by Annie Campbell and Penelope Curtin, is aimed at fostering discussion around issues pertinent to adult and community education (ACE) in Australia. Recent relevant literature and reports that relate to the following topics are examined: * Who uses ACE: Future demand * Lifelong learning and ACE * Community in ACE * Widening participation in ACE
This report provides a picture of adult and community education (ACE) provision of VET programs in Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia and in so doing provides a broadly based picture of the ACE sector as a whole. The report provides evidence of the capacity of the ACE sector to effectively address learner needs and to help learners link together learning. It also notes that while ACE provides considerable benefits to disadvantaged groups, many people with substantial prior educational background also choose to make use of ACE.
This project indentifies the types of Adult and Community Education (ACE) programs, provision and approaches that are most effective in meeting small business training needs in New South Wales.
Examines recent Australian research in the area of flexible delivery of training. Issues uncovered include the need for future research to focus on managing change and to address the learning aspects associated with flexible delivery.
