This paper has been prepared to raise awareness about the significance of Mayer Key Competencies to vocational curriculum and to seek advice and comment from the vocational education and training sector about these competencies. The paper argues that the Key Competencies are essential elements of vocational curriculum, given the type of significant changes that are occurring in the workplace and across industry generally. It also suggests that the Key Competencies will impact significantly on the teaching/learning strategies and assessment procedures used in vocational education and training. If the Key Competencies are successfully implemented they can play an important role in the integration of general and vocational education and training.
