Federal industry minister Ian Macfarlane has released two discussion papers outlining proposed reforms to national vocational education training programmes.
The first paper, Review of Training Packages and Accredited Courses, seeks public comment on whether vocational training packages are meeting the needs of business, employers, students and the national economy.
The second, Industry Engagement in Training Package Development – Towards a Contestable Model, examines development and maintenance of training packages and accredited courses.
