GenAI for VET Students

16th February 2026
Online via Zoom Webinar

Webinar Overview

GenAI for VET Students covers the appropriate and effective use of technologies like Copilot, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini in vocational education. 

This session will discuss how GenAI can be successfully incorporated into Assessment Tools in various industries and disciplines, and how to shift the mindset from GenAI as a “cheating” technology towards GenAI as an “assistive” technology.

Join Leon Furze for this 60-minute webinar that helps educators understand how VET students can use GenAI in ways which are appropriate, effective, and that support their learning.

Key topics covered within webinar

  • How are vocational students using GenAI?
  • How can trainers and assessors incorporate GenAI into learning materials and assessment tools?
  • What are the risks and opportunities of GenAI for VET students?
