The 2018 World Congress was organized by TAFE Directors Australia with the support of the Victorian TAFE Association and students and faculty of Melbourne's TAFEs. The three-day World Congress was one of Australia's largest gatherings of education and skills leaders, with almost 140 speakers and 44 concurrent sessions, under the theme of Preparing for the Skills Future, Now. Speakers and presenters explored the changing nature of work with particular focus on the impact of advances in technologies and automation on [professional and technical education and training] PTET. The World Congress focussed on solutions to these challenges and provided an opportunity for international delegates to look at their own PTET systems from the outside and compare their readiness to that of other countries.

The Faculty of Business and Law at Central Queensland University (CQU) is carrying out a re-evaluation of its programs. The questions under investigation are as follows: (1) What are the principles of lifelong learning?; (2) What mixes of academic studies, professional competencies, and industry-base learning (IBL) are available and may be used in the Faculty of Business and Law to provide useful, valid outcomes for graduates; (3) How are the defined principles of lifelong learning being implemented from first-year in marketing?

China's 'modern apprenticeship system' has recently gained much scholars' attention. However, the available literature focused on vocational institutions situated in metropolitan cities and provided fruitful conclusions based on location. A dearth of studies is observed in explaining and differentiating the Chinese apprenticeship system, its evolution, and its impacts on the young Chinese workforce. Therefore, this review paper is an academic contribution to present the background information on the Chinese apprenticeship system, its progress, observation of project outcomes, analysis, and suggest a future direction for academicians to extend research.
The analysis of existing literature provided an understanding of ambiguities in the apprenticeship system, and the paper recommends integrating academia, industry, and students for better implementation of the apprenticeship system. Additionally, the review paper also highlights the challenges faced by the Chinese apprenticeship system, such as the lack of standardization, inadequate support for apprentices, and insufficient recognition of vocational education. The paper suggests possible solutions to address these challenges, including strengthening the role of industry associations, promoting cross-regional cooperation, and improving the evaluation and certification mechanism. Overall, the paper aims to contribute to the literature on the Chinese apprenticeship system and provide insights for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars to improve the quality and effectiveness of the system.

To date, there is modest research on studies that compare and contrast Chinese and Australian business school students' learning experiences for work-integrated learning (WIL) programmes. This white paper is the result of a collaborative research partnership that focused on enhancing employability outcomes for Australian and Chinese business school students. Throughout the white paper, the authors highlight innovative ways to provide WIL activities for higher education students to achieve a more global outlook, taking into consideration the differences and similarities between Australian and Chinese business students.

This Compendium of innovative practices complements the report of the 2023 BILT Expert Group 'Green and digital skills for hospitality and tourism: from industry trends to competencies within TVET' [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 157.584]. Through extensive research and collective efforts, the BILT Expert Group has identified ten exemplary practices related to the identification, integration and implementation of new green and digital competencies in the hospitality and tourism industry, which address macro-, meso- and micro-level [technical and vocational education and training] TVET stakeholders. These initiatives and programmes are presented to the international audience with a strong belief in the benefits of policy and peer learning in TVET to drive transformative change.

Organising Senior Learning through a hub-and-spoke model: the integration of vocational education and training across Queensland secondary schools

The exploratory case study reported in this thesis investigated organisational changes occurring in Senior Learning ... Show more
The exploratory case study reported in this thesis investigated organisational changes occurring in Senior Learning (Years 10-12) in Queensland through the introduction of vocational education and training in order to develop a better understanding of hub-and-spoke mode of organising inter-school links with industry. The main research question is: What does this exploratory case study reveal about the 'hub-and-spoke' mode of organising groups of Secondary School around particular by industries, specifically in terms of Government policies, school curricula, teacher professional learning, school communications and student outcomes? The contributory research questions concern the strategies Government policies use to drive organisational changes in Senior School through [VET in Schools] VETiS; what public representations of Queensland Minerals and Energy Academy (QMEA) schools' curricula say about the offering of VETiS-related courses and/or activities; the initiatives and investment of the QMEA schools and their teachers' involvement in professional learning; what is the variety of public communications QMEA schools engage in about VETiS and the QMEA; and what changes have occurred in students' choices in their immediate post-school destinations from 2008 through 2009 to 2010. This thesis contributes important new knowledge about organisational changes with respect to planning a curriculum that is responsive to diverse needs of students, school timetabling, the venues for education and teacher professional learning, an area that is highly under-represented in the research literature. This makes this research significant and important.
Based on the analysis of the evidence, this thesis draws seven key findings in the final Chapter, which also recaps, emphasises and rounds off the main aspects of this study. First, the hub-and-spoke mode of Secondary School organisation is a potentially effective strategy for re-organising groups of schools to support work-integrated education and training so as to enhance successful and smooth post-school transitions for young adults. Second, although Governments' policies say little about the motives, principles and strategies for such an innovative organisational mode, the lack of adequate funding is an important issue in driving organisational changes in Senior Schools through VETiS. Third, although some QMEA schools provided their students with various VETiS courses, programs and activities in their school curricula producing varied results, going to university was not the dominant outcome. Fourth, most of schools' initiatives for professional learning focused on academic learning or training. However, teachers' involvement in teacher professional learning is not in direct proportion to the QMEA schools' initiatives and investment in it. Fifth, although all the seven QMEA schools that were studied in-depth are engaged in providing information about VETiS and/or the QMEA for purposes of public communication, there exist differences in both variety and amount. Sixth, while several changes have occurred in students' choices of immediate post-school destinations, no one was found to be decisive. Lastly, historical issues about vocational education continue to exist in the current debates concerning academic versus vocational schooling, reflecting the continuing relatively low social status of vocational education.
