Vocational Education for the 21st Century: A series of policy discussion papers

The LH Martin Institute is pleased to present a series of policy discussion papers prepared by its complement of Senior Fellows, Associates and Researchers to contribute to the debate we think is necessary to reform and invigorate the tertiary education sector, in particular vocational education and TAFE. The series covers a range of topical issues, from policy settings, governance, funding, competency based training, social inequality and training markets, with a view of looking forward, providing independent advice based on thorough analysis of why we find ourselves where we currently are.

Dr Kai Jensen of PolicyTrain supported the project by copy-editing the papers.
