Does the role of industry need to be strengthened or expanded across the VET system? Why/why not?
- What does industry engagement mean to you?
- How can industry be encouraged to connect with and use the VET system? What does this look like?
- Are there any roles for industry in the VET system that are not covered or outlined in the case for change?
-
Response:
Yes, the role of industry needs to be strengthened or expanded across the VET system so that industry is encouraged to have confidence that the VET system provides the educational and skills outcomes for trainees/apprentices that they seek. If these are not provided, industry will not trust or support formal training and skills competency attainment.
Are you aware of the current industry-leadership arrangements led by the Australian Industry and Skills Commission?

Response:
Yes

How effective are the current industry engagement arrangements in VET in meeting your needs?
- What works well and what could be improved? How could it be improved?
- How well are you (or your organisation) represented by these arrangements?
- How well do current arrangements allow collaboration across industry sectors on common workforce and skills needs?
-
Response:
The qualifications and competency framework work well. The delivery and funding via the State systems is inconsistent and adhoc and should be centralised.
What can be done to drive greater collaboration across industries to broaden career pathways for VET graduates and maximise the workforce available to employers?
- How can workers be equipped with skills that can be applied across different jobs?
- How can industry support this through the VET system?
- How can we break down silos and improve collaboration across industry groups?
-
Response:
Better partnerships between RTO's and industry need to be developed particularly to support "training on the job" competency as opposed to non relevant classroom training.
Are qualifications fit-for-purpose in meeting the needs of industry and learners now and into the future? Why/why not?

- Are there issues or challenges with the way qualifications are currently designed? What are they and what could be done to address these?
