Positioning VET for the ideas boom

Our latest report VET applied research: driving VET's role in the innovation system examines the VET sector's potential to contribute more actively in the innovation system through an applied research agenda.

The report is accompanied by two practical guides:

Explaining the VET applied research developmental framework This framework explains what capabilities VET educators and other professionals need in order to undertake VET applied research?
Developing VET applied research: steps towards enhancing VET’s role in the innovation system How does the VET system benefit from becoming more involved in applied research? This document sets out how registered training organisations can start developing these capabilities in the VET workforce, from naming and claiming their current achievements through to building a research and evaluation culture.
