#2021NVC: Considering Our Future Workforce

#2021NVC: Considering Our Future Workforce image

This year's National VET Conference brings to you a number of VET themed categories which enable you to select the key areas of importance to you and your RTO.  We appreciate how important it is to engage in the right activities that provide a professional development experience of direct value to your own learning and continuous improvement needs.  

The VET in Schools categories bring you FOUR vocational education and training experts delivering sessions across this 2-day conference covering a range of areas relating specifically to the delivery and outcomes of vocational and education in Australian schools.

Take a look at these exciting sessions below:



Purpose Power Passion: Understanding the psychographics of youth
Saxon Phipps, Director, Year13
Day 1, Session 1


Don't miss this thought provoking content that could really help you shape your students' futures! Tap into the latest research and insights from Year13 via this break-down of exclusive data from the ver latest "After The ATAR III" report.  This report really identifies the lack of sense of purpose and lack of passion faced by this country's youth when it comes to the transitional journey that is leaving high school. In this session you will learn about what is driving young people's decisions as they finish school and plan their future.




Trainer and Assessor Compliance and Effective Industry Engagement
Melanie Alexandra, VET Consultant, Velg Training
Day 1, Session 3


When offering VET pathways amidst a predominantly timetabled academic curriculum, a school’s primary focus is the integrity and relevance of content provided and the success of course outcomes.  This session analyses the expectations of trainers and assessors delivering VET in schools, unpacks how legislated requirements impacts upon those training and assessing, and describes how effective engagement with industry representatives can play an integral role when implementing industry relevant practices.  



Apprenticeships and Traineeships of the Future
Cassandra Hoult, Communication Manager, Australian Apprenticeships and Traineeships Information Service
Day 1, Session 2


With the continued growth in tech, skills shortages across many occupations, and increasing difficulties for young people transitioning to work, Australian Apprenticeships are becoming a more important pathway for success. In this presentation, AATIS will discuss what the future looks like for Australian Apprentices and Trainees. We will share stories from successful apprentices and trainees, employers and educations. After hearing their stories, you will agree – the future looks bright!



VET for Secondary School Students: Trends and destinations
Simon Walker, Managing Director, NCVER
Day 2, Session 3


When analysing LSAY data, it became apparent that students who undertook VfSSS programs were not a homogenous group, and that a significant proportion (45.2%) also achieved an ATAR.   This presentation reports on findings from NCVER research that investigates the uptake and five-year employment and further training destinations of students who participated in VET for Secondary School Students (VfSSS) programs in 2011, and the relationship between these courses of study and ensuing destinations.



Whether you have a face-2-face ticket or are a Virtual Attender, if VET in Schools is the PD theme of value to you and your RTO, check out the above sessions throughout these 2 exciting conference days!
