Bill Brown's List: DEMAND DRIVERS FOR VOC ED

Secondary schools in Australia are currently expected to provide vocational education and training (VET) and learning about sustainable development to students. This paper considers the possibility that existing  knowledge networks could provide a vehicle for creating articulation between Education for Sustainability (EfS) and VET in the educational environment of secondary schools. Debates about this type of articulation are examined, and a study of networks involved in knowledge exchange with secondary schools is reported

This paper focuses on issues which affect the capability of TAFE providers to meet their clients' and stakeholders' needs and draws extensively on the reports of the consortium research program which examined ways to help build vocational education and training (VET) provider and workforce capability. The paper puts this research, most of which was completed in 2006 and 2007, into a contemporary framework. It suggests that TAFE providers need to be free of unnecessary central constraints to help them meet their strategic business needs. This includes more direct control of human resources matters and industrial relations.

Australia has the workforce capability required for a productive, sustainable and inclusive future. Australian enterprises have the capacity to develop and use the skills of their workforce to maximum advantage for industry and community benefit.

he Automotive Australia 2020 (AA2020) roadmap project began in June 2009. Commissioned by the Australian Automotive Industry Innovation Council (AAIIC) and supported by the Federal Government and the Victorian State Government, AA2020 represents an ambitious program to understand Australian automotive capability and link it to opportunities to address emerging social and technological trends. Development of the AA2020 Roadmap was undertaken by AutoCRC, in partnership with the Australian National University (ANU), CSIRO and the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) at the University of Cambridge.
