In partnership with the Australasian Vocational Education and Training Research Association (AVETRA), we undertake applied research to inform our policy work, build policy translation capability within the VET research community, and expand opportunities for VET researchers to engage directly with policymakers and influence policy development.
With our support, VET researchers explore topic areas aligned with the strategic objectives and priorities of the Victorian VET system, as well as synthesise existing research. This work enables VET sector policymakers to apply the most current knowledge and international best-practice into their work.
