Australian Industry Group report calls for long term, integrated vision for the Tertiary sector.

6/2/2019

0 Comments

 
A Recent report from the AI Group has outlined the challenges required to produce the post secondary education and training sector needed to support the higher level skills that the Australian workforce requires to engage with technology and digitisation. "Realising Potential, Solving Australia's Tertiary Education Challenge" discusses Australia's mass tertiary education landscape in light of falling participation rates, de- investment in Vocational Training, a lack of overall long term policy direction and inconsistent funding and regulatory arrangements. Amongst other recommendations the report calls for greater mobility between VET and Higher Education, more effective ways to expand industry participation in the learning process and a long term integrated policy framework. cdn.aigroup.com.au/Reports/2019/REALISING_POTENTIAL.pdf
