Shared Vision for VET

Shared Vision for VET image

The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Skills Council (the Council) held its inaugural meeting, as a standalone Council, today in Melbourne.  Council considered the shared vision for the VET system agreed by COAG on 9 August 2019 and agreed on reform priorities and discussed short, medium and long term areas for action to inform the delivery of a shared reform roadmap to COAG in early 2020.

Members agreed three future priorities for VET system improvements:

  • Relevance – actions in this area will ensure that VET is relevant and responsive to the job market, employers, industry and learners.
  • Quality – actions in this area will support public confidence in the quality and value of VET for students throughout their lives and move it to parity with the higher education system.
  • Accessibility – actions in this area will ensure all prospective students and employers can access suitable information and training when and where it is required, and include a specific focus on supporting access for disadvantaged Australians.

More information can be found in the original communique document.
