Partnership & collaboration

Collaborations play a critical role in skill development. A core component of the VET system has always been industry collaboration and consultation, evident at every level, from industry participation in creating training packages to the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) requiring RTOs to interact with industry.

We engage effectively with industry, employers, and community representatives. The challenge of fulfilling the long-standing demand that VET trainers be dual professionals—experts in their subject and the delivery of training and assessment—can be lessened by partnerships between RTOs and companies. Furthermore, VET cooperation initiatives provide a means for the VET industry to fulfil the needs and expectations of employers, as well as to target specific cohorts. Industry partnerships would become increasingly important to skilling. Collaboration and consultation with industry have always been fundamental. We are carefully vetting and cultivating partnerships and cooperation at the national and international levels.
