Over recent years, there has been a significant shift towards the value placed on teaching and learning in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector.  There is now a growing recognition that teaching and learning issues need to be placed higher on  national and state policy and planning agendas.  The VET Teaching Conference 2009 takes this recognition another step forward by celebrating everything that’s great about VET teaching and learning.

This Conference aims to be both an inspirational and enjoyable event that pays tribute to VET teachers and trainers.  We hope participants will leave energised, reinvigorated and enthusiastic about their role and the overall importance of teaching in VET.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The Conference will provide a program to benefit practitioners, support staff and managers working across the VET sector.
