This report adds to a growing body of research on the changing nature of vocational education and training (VET), and specifically on the qualifications and future needs of the VET workforce. It synthesises evidence from past research, from interviews with stakeholders and an online survey carried out for this project and from responses to earlier publications associated with this project. The recommendations made in the report are aimed at best equipping the VET workforce for its increasingly critical role in helping Australia increase workforce participation, skills and social inclusion. ‘The quality of teaching in VET: options paper’ produced last year presented a range of options, models and proposals on VET teacher preparation, qualifications and continuing professional development, and on ensuring and evaluating the quality of VET teaching and its impact on the VET student experience and outcomes. Four papers were produced when developing the options paper: ‘The quality of teaching in VET: literature review’; ‘The quality of teaching in VET: overview; ‘The quality of teaching in VET: framework’; ‘The quality of teaching in VET: evidence’.
