Vocational education and training policy reports

Client: Australian National Training Authority; Employment and Skills Formation Council, National Board of Employment, Education and Training

Subject: Vocational education and training

Major achievement: Editorial services on several key reports to explain the challenges faced by the vocational education and training system, and options for the future, to the system's key stakeholders.

The projects: For each publication, we reviewed draft texts or notes and talked with the authors about the aim of each publication. We then worked with the authors to develop a clear structure for the publication, that would lead the reader through the information in order to make the required case. Once the structure was clear, we then edited or rewrote the original material to fit the structure, to clarify and simplify the expression of the arguments and to identify and fill gaps. Finally, we handled design and production of the finished reports.

The reports were:

Toward a skilled Australia: A national strategy for vocational education and training
National Strategy for Vocational Education and Training: A Bridge to the Future
Developing Australia's skills: TAFE in the 1990s Australian Vocational Training System (Carmichael Report)
Women and TAFE - a national plan of action
