industry engagement – a free resource for rtos on acpetblog.net

Under the auspices of the VET Futures Program and developed by Rebecca Biazos, some practical guides for RTOs and trainers have been developed and available freely at www.acpetblog.net

The objective of the associated research is to provide an overview of industry engagement in VET and provide concise and practical information, tools and resources that RTOs can use to help assess their industry engagement activities and develop engagement plans and strategies that support the sustainability of their business.

The research outcomes aim to provide an understanding of:

• What industry engagement is and why it is important
• What RTOs should consider when developing an industry

Engagement plan and activities for their business:

• Government policy and regulations and how these can assist and support them
• Key contacts for RTOs to access further information and support
• What is considered good practice in industry engagement for VET
• Other RTOs’ best practice activities that they can utilize to support their strategies

The outcomes of the research are broken into three key sections:

Section 1:
An overview of Industry Engagement in the Australian VET sector

Section 2:
Queensland’s Best Practice Industry Case Studies

Section 3:
Provider Take Aways: Industry Engagement Tools and Resources
