In a publication<\/a> released last year the AISC reflects on its years in operation from 2015 to 2022 and what it sees as opportunities for the future now we are moving to \u2018Industry Clusters\u2019.<\/p>\n

The AISC was established \u201cto provide advice on the implementation of vocational education and training (VET) policies and ensure the standard of nationally recognised training,\u201d with this latter role \u201ccoming to dominate the Committee\u2019s time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The paper\u2019s aim is to pass on some of the knowledge and experience AISC members gained from overseeing major elements of the national training system over the past seven years. The paper chronicles<\/a> the extent and nature of its work and the key initiatives it started and undertook. A number of case studies are also presented, particularly around training package updates that were seen as complex or contentious. The paper noted that finding consensus can be challenging. They see effective consultation as the key to achieving consensus.<\/p>\n

The challenges<\/h2>\n

The context section of the paper points to the challenges of \u201cinconsistent quality of training and assessment, regulatory frameworks which can place a significant compliance burden on registered training organisations (RTOs), rorting of the system, and difficulties accessing relevant data.\u201d In addition, \u201cinequities in Commonwealth and state and territory funding across the tertiary education sector, blurred learning pathways, inconsistent recognition of training and credit transfer, and variable investment by industry\u201d were issues picked up in a range of system reviews. All of this is not new. In fact, these are all well-known and acknowledged challenges.<\/p>\n

However, the paper<\/a> points out that \u201cthere has been less consensus in clearly articulating the desired outcomes from the system and diagnosing the specific obstacles that are preventing us from achieving those goals.\u201d Perhaps this is a major problem with VET. The various stakeholders and voices are divided on what is really important and needs to be done.<\/p>\n

One of the other challenges AISC identified was \u201cindustry stakeholders seeking to use training packages to pursue wider goals that lie beyond the scope of the VET system.\u201d (Developing training products that meet the needs of all stakeholders has always been challenging.) Indeed, challenges that AISC identified in affecting and hindering both progress and positive outcomes in the development and implementation of training packages included:<\/p>\n
