Content
In this unit, students will investigate major policy drivers and research in adult, vocational education and training and further education. Students will be introduced to global discourses that inform vocational education and training practice, as well as other local and national policy contexts that influence their specialist industry.
Students will investigate the characteristics and learning needs of diverse learner cohorts included in the vocational education and training classroom, such as the culturally and linguistically diverse, students with disabilities, First Nations, neurodivergent learners, young people and other cohorts. This investigation will also include a focus on the various environments where learning occurs, including publicly funded TAFE, registered training organisations, VET in schools, VCE Vocational Major and the Victorian Pathways Certificate, adult community education, corrections facilities and tertiary education providers.
Drawing on these key discourses, sector policies and drivers of change, students will examine the policy and research responses to a specific learner cohort and provide strategies for addressing and responding to the needs of this group.
