NEW PODCAST: are apprenticeships still a trusted brand?
Recent budget announcements and the challenges of a rapidly changing economy have put apprenticeships in the spotlight.
Join host Steve Davis as he talks to Ian Curry (NCVER Board member and National Coordinator – Skills, Training & Apprenticeships, NMWU) and Simon Walker (Managing Director, NCVER) about the future of traditional trades and how the perception of apprenticeships has changed over the years.
The discussion focuses on regulation, flexibility, completion rates as well as the complexity around the status of VET.
