A well-skilled future: Tailoring VET to the emerging labour market 

 
 

NCVER will host a forum on 24 November in Melbourne, showcasing the findings from a suite of research by researchers from the National Institute of Labour Studies and Centre for Post-compulsory Education and Lifelong Learning.

The National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) will host a one-day forum showcasing the findings from a suite of research by researchers from the National Institute of Labour Studies (NILS) and the Centre for Post-compulsory Education and Lifelong Learning (CPELL) on Friday 24 November in Melbourne.

Based on the results of a two-year research program, the forum will discuss the expected future in which the vocational education and training (VET) system will operate, with keynote addresses from Professor Sue Richardson, Director, National Institute of Labour Studies, and Professor Richard Teese, Director, Centre for Post-compulsory Education and Lifelong Learning.

This forum is useful for those who want to know how the labour market will evolve; and who want to think about how the VET system should respond to the changing labour market.

The forum is funded under the National Vocational Education and Training Research and Evaluation (NVETRE) Program. This program is managed and coordinated by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research, on behalf of the Australian Government and state and territory governments, with funding provided through the Department of Education, Science and Training.

When and where:

Friday 24 November 2006 at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre from 9.30am to 4.00pm - registrations open 8.00am.
