In addressing tonight’s #MenziesOration question from young people - “Do I have a future?” - @TraversMcLeod is highlighting three major challenges that are limiting young people’s wellbeing and chances of a sustainable livelihood right now. 1/4
The first challenge is a mismatch between job vacancies & the young people equipped to fill them. There are 770,000 Australians who are part of our employment services system, which is 26% more than before COVID and includes 111,000 young people. #MenziesOration 2/4
The second is an outdated education & training system. Less than half of learners in #VocEd complete their training. Only one in three (34.4%) young training graduates say their qualification was ‘highly relevant to their job’ post training. #MenziesOration 3/4

@COSBOA McKenzie responds to above from SME perspective:
Do we have a system that focuses on #LifelongLearning needs?
Role of formal quals when focus on skills
Not leave any worker/learner behind
What about late quartile cohorts who have big need?
Whole ecosystem has not moved

Analyzing PuertoRico's incoming governor's pubic policy on education. First it cites a little plagiarized sentence I wrote in 2012, again, without credit.
"Educacion sirve de punto de lanza para el desarrollo social y economico del pueblo". "Eperienza educativa donde nuestros jovenes se desenvuelvan en las destresas... a ser productivos y ciudadanos de pensamiento critico e independiente".
Includes the often said "decentralizing". This would mean a break in PuertoRico as an SEA/LEA that would mean a huge leap, it requires @usedgov approval. And a technology and data management overhaul (E-rate), funds received under my administration, frozen again bc mismanagement
Following lunch, and we’re back with Michael Hartman looking at some of the challenges affecting the VET #VocEd sector #2019NVC
One challenge is mapping #VocEd theory into #HE theory - each university does it differently #2019NVC
What does ‘competent’ mean? How do we know if we never see the learner in the workplace doing the task #2019NVC
Thoughts on 2 conferences: #altc - UK, heavily #edtech focussed, #2019NVC - Australia, #VocEd focus.
I participated in #altc through YouTube live streamed sessions and a vibrant Twitter back channel, connected with dozens of educators I hadn’t ‘met’ before
On Sunday evenings I often join with hundreds of #educators in #AussieEd another lively group (mostly K12) sharing in #CPD through chats on Twitter & ‘meet’ new people every week
Conversation starter for next session at #CDUvetpd: What does it mean to be a VET Practitioner? (That's #VocEd not caring for animals!)
