Now in its tenth year, National Skills Week aims to raise the profile and status of VET in Australia by dispelling outdated myths and showcasing the attractive career opportunities that VET can offer.
This goal is more crucial now than ever, with the reskilling and upskilling of Australian workers critical to our economic recovery post-COVID-19.
This year we had close to 500 participants across all our workshop from all around Australia as well as some joining us from around the world.
A special thank you to Assistant Minister for Vocational Education and Skills, the Hon. Minister Steve Irons, for producing a short welcome video that we shared at the beginning of our video conference sessions this week.
We would also like to thank all of our speakers for taking the time to present.
