| Summary |
Extension (industry training) and the VET sector, the formal Vocational Education and Training system, each a vital part of Australia's education and training for agriculture, have developed and are seen as separate training domains, but there is reason to believe that better alignment of the two would improve outcomes from investment in training, and improve rural capacity building. The objectives of this research were to explore the justification for and ways of better aligning extension with the VET sector. Through analysis of literature and web sources the project aimed to: identify the nature and extent of existing links and partnerships between industry training and the VET sector in relation to management-level training, including the competencies and whole qualifications delivered (Australian Quality Recognition Framework Level 4 and above); identify the nature of the various target markets and marketing approaches of VET providers and industry trainers, in partnerships or otherwise; briefly review existing research on the advantages and disadvantages of training that matches the VET competencies and whole qualifications for industry and providers; briefly review existing research on promoters and inhibitors of training that matches VET competencies and whole qualifications for industry providers; distil options and recommendations regarding the better alignment of extension with the VET sector, and the nature of training and/or target audiences when industry training should or should not be aligned with the VET sector; suggest any further, primary research required to make informed decisions on the options distilled from the project.[p.vi, ed] |
