This report is based on a study commissioned by the Western Australian (WA) Department of Training to determine the 'Future training and employment needs of the South West Region' (2001). The study follows on from a previous research project undertaken by the Department and detailed in the report 'South West Region: key drivers impacting upon future vocational education and training needs' (indexed at TD/WA 58.02). This latest study is the first to be completed by the Department as part of its second round of regional training and employment research studies that will provide input into the State Training Strategy. The study found that the South West, while not experiencing the same level of economic growth as was evident in 1997, is still the leading regional contributor to the WA economy and population growth is still high in comparison to all other regions. However, while the region is experiencing growth in some industry sectors it is also coming to terms with the restructuring of the timber industry and the move to deregulate the dairy industry. The report includes an executive summary and gives a regional overview. It identifies the macro drivers, outlines government policy, key industry drivers and training priorities, and includes tables and attachments. Show less

The vocational education and training sector is undergoing significant change to meet the demand for a more skilled and adaptable workforce. In the context of high demand for training, recognition of prior learning (RPL) has economic and social benefits for individual learners, employers, training providers and the community in general. During 1992 and 1993, a number of RPL pilot projects were conducted in Western Australia. This paper identifies a range of issues for discussion, and discusses the purpose and different types of RPL, recognition, and quality issues. There is also an appendix which contains suggested minimum quality standards for RPL services. There is also a questionnaire concerning RPL accompanied with the document. Show less
