A national roadmap to grow and support a sustainable VET workforce.
The VET Workforce Blueprint, developed in collaboration with states and territories, provides a comprehensive roadmap designed to grow Australia's vocational education and training (VET) workforce. The Blueprint outlines opportunities and actions to attract, retain, develop, and sustain Australia's VET Workforce.
We will undertake a VET Workforce Blueprint project focused on strengthening and supporting the VET workforce that delivers education and training to the mining and automotive industries.
The project involves three phases to address the overall goals of the Blueprint, with each phase shaping and informing the next. The goals of the Blueprint are:
-
Goal 1: Growing the workforce
-
Goal 2: Retaining and developing the workforce.
-
Goal 3: Understanding the workforce.
Phase 1 of the project aims to conduct a comprehensive workforce analysis to develop a detailed understanding of industry-specific roles within the VET sector, with a focus on the mining and automotive industries.
We will conduct an analysis using existing data, and initial findings will be validated and enhanced through a collaborative process including discussion and interviews with staff in key VET workforce roles and current students. Roundtables will provide an opportunity to consult the mining and automotive industries and engage with the broader VET workforce.
The outcomes will inform the development of a sector-specific VET workforce report to identify key demographic, employment and geographic factors impacting the mining and automotive VET workforce.
