Industry explores how trainers and assessors maintain strong industry connections to ensure training and assessment remain relevant, credible and aligned with contemporary workplace practice.

Consultation reinforced that vocational currency is fundamental to effective delivery. Participants emphasised the need to maintain industry knowledge, build strong employer partnerships and create meaningful opportunities to bring current workplace practice into training and assessment. Many also identified barriers to sustaining industry engagement, particularly in regional, remote and specialist contexts.

This theme brings together practical guidance, tools and resources across 3 topics to support vocational currency, industry partnerships and industry-informed training and assessment.
