'Bridging pathways' is a national strategy that aims to create a vocational education and training (VET) system that employs leading best practice to achieve equitable outcomes for people with a disability in Australia. This achievement will be built on partnerships involving those with disabilities, training providers, industry, and policy makers and planners. The strategy's four key aims are to increase access to VET for people with a disability, to improve successful participation and attainment, to achieve outcomes in employment and lifelong learning that will enable people with a disability to make a greater contribution to the economic and social life of the community, and to create an accountable system that ensures equitable outcomes for those with a disability. This blueprint is the companion document of the national strategy and it provides an action plan for increasing opportunities for people with a disability in VET. It is intended for program managers in government agencies and training organisations and provides strategies, actions and outcomes to facilitate change without affecting sector business operations. The blueprint has three sections. 'Impact' provides an overview for decision makers describing the investment required and the outcomes across stakeholder groups as a result of implementing the blueprint. 'Areas of focus' outlines the strategies and component actions needed to implement the required change. 'Supporting materials' provides technical attachments and additional information to assist with implementation.
The companion document, 'Bridging pathways: national strategy from 2000 until 2005', is indexed at TD/TNC 62.912.
