Discussion Paper released.
The Minister for Skills and Workforce Participation has released the discussion paper Securing our future economic prosperity: discussion paper on skills reform which outlines proposed reforms of the vocational education and training (VET) system in Victoria.
The Minister has said:
The jobs of the future will be more competitive and will require higher levels of skills. To meet these future workforce needs we need to remove current barriers to training and engage industry, business and individuals in more training.
To achieve these goals, reforms have been proposed to the vocational education and training (VET) system and they are outlined in the discussion paper Securing our future economic prosperity: discussion paper on skills reform.
The major proposals are:
- increasing access to training to individuals and business;
- simplifying the VET system with a more responsive and flexible approach to changing skills needs;
- and creating a lifelong learning culture.
Feedback
A direct consultation process with stakeholders is being undertaken. We seek your feedback, and encourage you to have your say on the potential reforms, and welcome submissions on the discussion paper.
Written submissions close on Tuesday 10 June 2008.
