The purpose of this report is to provide a broad guide to industry views and priorities with regard to the further development of the vocational education and training (VET) system in Australia. It summarises information compiled by national Industry Training Advisory Bodies (ITABs) about key issues, major trends, strategic directions and initiatives, training packages, skills shortages, and emerging VET issues for their industries. The report begins with an overview of national industry VET plans, highlighting major industry trends, including the appearance of an ageing workforce in a number of industries, the impact of technological change on the roles and functions of industries, and changing work practices and industrial issues. It also looks at strategic initiatives, including New Apprenticeships, User Choice, participation by disadvantaged groups, small business, links with training providers, flexible delivery, assessment, language, literacy and numeracy, training packages, skills shortages and the 2000 Olympic Games, that industries will consider in reviewing their training priorities in order to stay competitive in a rapidly changing environment. The report emphasises that major initiatives such as training packages and User Choice will 'offer increased participation in entry level programs and offer flexibility at the enterprise and organisational level, particularly through New Apprenticeship arrangements'. A similar overview is then provided for each industry sector: automotive; building and construction; community services and health; culture and recreation; finance and administration; food; forest and forest products; light manufacturing; manufacturing, engineering and related services; mining; process manufacturing; property services; public administration; rural; telecommunications, postal services, information technology and printing; tourism and hospitality; transport and distribution; utilities; and wholesale retail and personal services.

This report presents the outcomes of a major project examining credit transfer and articulation arrangements between the higher education (HE) and vocational education and training (VET) sectors in Australia. The project was commissioned at the end of 1998 by the Australian Vice-Chancellors’ Committee (AVCC) and the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) in response to the need for research on the impact of VET sector reforms (Training Packages; the Australian Recognition Framework) on cross-sector arrangements. The project was conducted throughout 1999 and involved four case studies (Agriculture, Hospitality and Tourism Training, Community Services, and Telecommunications Training Packages), a national survey of key stakeholders and broad consultations. The aim was to develop a combined ANTA/AVCC draft national policy reflective of the new VET environment and the developing nature of cross-sector collaboration. The report provides a comprehensive summary of the current range of cross-sector qualification linkages, including credit transfer, articulation, combined dual sector qualifications undertaken concurrently, and other forms of qualifications linkages. In addition, the report identifies the range of organisational models, drivers and barriers to cross-sector collaboration, and the issues and potential benefits of linkages involving Training Package qualifications.
The AVCC response to the VETASSESS report ‘Pathways to partnerships’ is indexed at TD/TNC 67.265. Show less
