Evaluating strategies to improve flexible delivery in the workplace

Research has been conducted on the learning preferences and strategies of vocational education and training (VET) learners and the support provided to them in the workplace. That research has shown that strategies need to be developed to enhance the preparedness of both the learners and the workplace if flexible delivery in the workplace is to be successful. This paper reports on the findings of a research project, supported by the National Research and Evaluation Committee (NREC), that tested the feasibility of those strategies for implementation in operating workplaces. Using data collected from interviews and focus groups at twelve enterprises representing a range of industries and business sizes in metropolitan and regional Victoria, the research identified strategies that were considered to be feasible, strategies that were supported in a qualified way, and strategies that were perceived as largely unfeasible
