National Monday Update Issue:
ACPET is the Peak Body for private education throughout Australia. In Victoria we represent private training providers on many state and federal government committees, working groups and networks.
As we want your voice to be heard, ACPET Victoria will be running a series of “Strategic Conversations” throughout regional and metropolitan Victoria during May and June. This conversation will be the first one of a series to be held with providers and stakeholders (ACPET members and non-members) throughout 2010.
Please note: Conversations have been planned to coincide with the Victorian Student Number Information sessions (Except for the Geelong and the CBD)
The topics for discussion are:
- Contestable Funding
- The Regulatory environment
- VRQA
- AQTF 2010
- Compliance and Audits
- Review of VET Regulation Education & Training Reform Act 2006 (Victoria)
- Federal issues
- Funding opportunities outside Victoria
- PPP
- ACPET’s actions
- Upcoming research on value of Training to the Australia Economy (Domestic)
- Representation on committees and working parties
