The Tasmanian Polytechnic: some thoughts from a research perspective

This paper presents some thoughts on the concept of the Tasmanian Polytechnic, drawing on a range of research mostly undertaken by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER). It first considers a number of 'goals' that are clearly relevant to judging the success of the endeavour: Year 12 retention (or its equivalent); the completion of Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) qualifications; university entrance; transition to the workforce; and 'second chancers'. It then makes a number of observations on relevant issues.
