Industry calls for single national regulator for VET 22 October, 2009
| Media Release The Australian Council of Trade Unions, the Australian Industry Group, and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry today called on Training Ministers in all States and Territories to proceed, as a priority, with the establishment of a national regulator for the Australian Vocational Education and Training (VET) system as agreed at the April 2009 COAG meeting. The case for the establishment of a national regulator is clear and compelling, the three organisations said. http://www.actu.asn.au/Media/Mediare...torforVET.aspx City to top 7m people MELBOURNE'S population will grow to almost 7 million by 2049, federal Treasury has projected, doubling in the space of 50 years as an unending mining boom brings more and more migrants into Australia. But revealing the figure yesterday, Treasury secretary Ken Henry voiced fears that Australia might be unable to handle another 13 million people by 2049 without serious environmental losses. http://www.theage.com.au/national/ci...1022-hbg7.html Rules skew student choice. THERE is frequent criticism in the media about education agents and about students seeking permanent residence via the study-immigration route. Demographers have theories, trade unions have political positions and newspapers publish half- informative, half-inflammatory articles. This gets us nowhere; we need people for the coming economic boom. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au...-25192,00.html THE international education industry faces upheaval as tighter immigration policies prompt students to switch from down-market courses in oversubscribed areas such as business and commerce, towards more substantive university degree courses. Students seeking migration are expected increasingly to seek longer degree courses in areas tied to the government's critical skills list or linked to employer sponsorship, according to migration expert Lesleyanne Hawthorne, who is also the University of Melbourne's associate dean international. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au...-12332,00.html Education Services for Overseas Students Amendment (Re-registration of Providers and Other Measures) Bill 2009. Australia’s international education industry has come under intense national and international media scrutiny due to recent protests in Australia by Indian students following number of violent assaults. At the same time there were media images of international students being locked out following the closure of a number of colleges and exposure by the media of some sub- standard education services and questionable practices by some providers, and by education and immigration agents. These have all contributed to the perception of widespread immigration rorting and of an education industry in crisis. http://www.aph.gov.au/library/Pubs/B...10/10bd028.htm Beyond laptops: the real education revolution There is a need to ensure the Australian community understands the broad issues underpinning globalisation, the knowledge economy, and the constant evolution and updating of skills in the labour force required to remain competitive in the current environment. Ask an employer what skills they wished their people had more of and they will usually respond with things like creativity, collaboration, communication, the ability to manage uncertainty and emotional intelligence. http://www.apo.org.au/commentary/bey...ion-revolution PomsinOz Forums, information and advice for prospective migrants planning to migrate, live, work and study in Australia cities, states and regions http://www.pomsinoz.com Australian International Education Centre http://www.aiec.hu |
