A guide to VET for human services employers

The challenge for building a skilled human services workforce is a pressing one.  Designed for employers, the Guide to VET for human services employers contains practical, easy to understand information about the vocational education and training (VET) system and advice on how to build and maximise relationships with training organisations.

When used properly, vocational education and training has the power to be transformative—for employees, employers, and entire industries.  VET should be in every employer’s toolkit. It is a useful tool to create a pipeline for talent, quickly upskill employees when changes happen, and build and develop your entire workforce. This guide will help you get the most out of VET and empower you to address your workforce development challenges.

Within the guide you will find simple information about vocational education and training, step-by-step instructions for finding training providers that can deliver what you need and how you need it, how you can influence the VET system, useful resources and more.

The guide will also be a useful resource for registered training organisations with training specialisations in the human services sectors. If you’re a training organisation, you will be able to use the guide to get an understanding of what employers told us they were after and strengthen your relationships with your clients. The guide is full of information, tools, and templates.

To help you explore the guide, and quickly access the information you need, the guide is available as an online resource.  You can also download the guide as a desktop version.
