The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

Event information

About the conference

In 2022, the 31st National Vocational Education and Training (VET) Research Conference ‘No Frills’ will be hosted in-person! After two years of successful virtual conferences, they can’t wait to see your faces again and provide the networking opportunities so many of you have been asking for.

‘No Frills’ provides an opportunity for networking and ideas sharing in a friendly and informal atmosphere with a cross-section of industry representatives, practitioners, researchers and policymakers.

The conference will be held in Melbourne from Wednesday 6 to Friday 8 July 2022. The first day, Wednesday 6 July, will be dedicated to optional pre-conference PD workshops and the welcome reception. The rest of the program will feature thought-provoking keynote and concurrent sessions, our popular and lively Q&A sessions, and the conference dinner.

They also plan to livestream some sessions on 7-8 July 2022 for those who are unable to attend in-person. Recordings of these sessions will also be available on-demand for all attendees after the conference.

Call for abstracts

The conference theme is VET’s role in transforming the future. The VET sector has responded well to the COVID-19 pandemic, but how can it continue to support Australia’s economic recovery and respond to Australia’s shifting future skill demands?

They invite presentations that explore issues relating to the ways VET is adapting, anticipating and activating change in response to shifting future skill demands.
