Abstract

As a result of the National Training Reform Agenda, Australia's Vocational Education and Training (VET) system looks considerably different to the traditional apprenticeship system that operated up until the mid 1980s. The current system is a complex structure of stakeholders, each with their own roles and responsibilities from the federal level, through to the various state bodies down to the workplace level involving employers and individual students. This paper seeks to dissect the contemporary system to enable a clearer understanding of the key elements underpinning the system to assist the analysis of VET related issues. The key elements discussed include the major stakeholders, the relevent laws and regulations, the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and the New Apprenticeship system.
