The Allen Consulting Group was commissioned by the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) to undertake a review of the ANTA VET in Schools initiative to assess the program's effectiveness in expanding VET in Schools and to inform further policy advice on VET in Schools with regard to program development. This review was based on an Evaluation Framework that outlined the processes underlying the assessment of the program relevant to its objectives. Findings from the review indicated that the outcomes envisaged for the program had not been fully achieved and some basic measurement issues needed addressing before final assessments could be made. A range of quality issues appeared to exist which needed to be resolved before it could be said that the program had brought about a full transition and delivered its full potential value. The report is structured as follows: the first chapter provides an introduction and the background to the program; chapter two describes the current status of the program and examines key activity trends over its three year history; chapter three examines the value delivered by the program; chapter four assesses its future sustainability; and the final chapter outlines the key areas that could be the basis for building conditions into the redesign of the guidelines in order to complete the transition and to ensure longer term sustainability of the program.

Hands on the future: project for improving access for Indigenous students in VET in Schools programs: final report

This project investigated the role of VET in Schools (VETiS) for Indigenous students in Australia. Several data sources were consulted, including previous literature on VETiS and Indigenous education, a national survey of students' experiences of postsecondary education and vocational education and training (VET) conducted in 2002, and case study material from interviews with over 280 individuals in 21 schools from diverse settings in all States and Territories. The main aims of the study were to: identify 'good practice' in the provision of VETiS to Indigenous students; identify the factors that constrain the accessibility of VET to Indigenous students; and to make recommendations for increasing access for Indigenous students in VETiS. The case study material generated five key principles that contribute to the successful implementation of VET for Indigenous students. The distinguishing feature of good practice was the ability of schools to combine all five aspects. The key principles are: (1) focus on individual needs; (2) supportive school environment; (3) relevant and engaging curriculum; (4) links with other education and training providers; and (5) community links and partnerships. Several factors constraining the effective delivery of VET to Indigenous students were also revealed by the case study material. These included: systemic constraints; school-based barriers; experience as an Indigenous student; and community and locational barriers. In conclusion, the study provided a national perspective on the role of VETiS for Indigenous students. It demonstrated that VET had four key roles for these students: engaging them with meaningful, 'hands-on' learning; enhancing school retention; providing needed workplace experience; and facilitating the transition to post-school employment and training. The report makes a number of recommendations for improving VETiS provision and accessibility for Indigenous students. Show less

The transition to vocational education and training (VET) in schools programs based on training packages presents challenges to meet industry and accreditation requirements and to align with existing industry practices. For the specific context of a VET in schools course it may be necessary to satisfy both school sector and VET sector assessment requirements. This guide is designed to help teachers in schools and Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) to understand the requirements of the endorsed components of the Information technology training package and to make optimum use of other industry-developed teaching, learning and assessment resources available. It is intended to complement the available training package materials by offering interpretations and examples from a VET in schools perspective. Accompanying guides relevant to the information technology industry may be found at TD/TNC 61.32 and TD/TNC 61.33.
