Australia has one of the world's best vocational education and training systems. For someone new to the sector, there is a lot of information to absorb to operate effectively. Training Packages @ Work: Back 2 Basics is an easy-to-read guide that simplifies the system.
It provides a starting point to help vocational education and training practitioners navigate a path through the maze.
The publication is organised into three sections: ‘system basics’ covers administrative and regulatory aspects of the training system; ‘delivery basics’ covers issues relating to the delivery of training under the national training system; and ‘basics help’ has information on key contacts and resources and a glossary.
The articles are drawn from Training Packages @ Work, a national e-newsletter that provides information on the implementation of training packages and other key issues in the national training system.
In keeping with the approach taken by Training Packages @ Work, this publication:
- shuns acronyms
- avoids jargon
- focuses on best practice
- provides contacts for more information.
This is by no means a definitive guide to the vocational education and training system in Australia, but it is a handy means of accessing the information needed on a daily basis.
All articles provide links to further information and it is suggested that if you wish to access the publication on CD, an internet connection is required to fully utilise this resource.
