The Victorian Skills Authority has established a partnership(opens in a new window) with the Australasian Vocational Education and Training Research Association (AVETRA(opens in a new window)). The partnership aims to inform policy activity with relevant research evidence, build policy translation capability within the VET research community and build connections with VET researchers. This in turn aims to create expanded opportunities for applied VET researchers to engage directly with policymakers and influence policy development.
Research insights projects
Through the partnership, AVETRA and the VSA support VET researchers to produce research insights. These insights explore a range of topic areas aligned with the strategic objectives and priorities of the VET system in Victoria. They seek to synthesise existing research to enable policymakers to apply current knowledge and international best practice into their work for the VET sector.
