Consortium Research Program

The Consortium Research Program: supporting vocational education and training providers in building capability for the future is a high-level research program driven by a consortium of expert Australian researchers. It has won competitive funding from the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) for a program of 9 extensive and interlinked research activities over 2 years. These research activities will provide the evidence on which to base decisions for the future of the VET workforce and which will support workforce change.
