The purpose of this report is to share with the vocational education and training (VET) sector insights into how over four thousand VET practitioners increased their capabilities to implement the national training system, as evidenced by their participation in the Reframing the Future program in 2005. The document provides insights on skill building drawn from the final reports of many of the more than two hundred project teams that undertook Reframing the Future projects in 2005. These detailed final reports completed by project team convenors clearly identify projects’ challenges, processes and achievements, providing highly informative data for this document. The document reports that VET practitioners in these projects accessed, critically examined and applied learning from the following sources: research reports, good practice models and other resources and information sources. Participants benefited from undertaking many of these activities in groups, as the groups provided an opportunity for sharing, comparing and exploring ideas and creating new frameworks. Participating in groups enabled tacit knowledge held by participants, and sometimes stemming from considerable practical experience, to be made explicit and available for others to access. This group knowledge was often positively directed at seeking improvements to participants’ organisations, in order to better implement aspects of the national training system such as Training Packages or industry-provider collaboration in designing customised training and assessment.
