Assurance through RTO (controllable through contract arrangements) • Will still need some partner RTOs for specialist areas RTO-Enterprise Partnering Models (overview)

  8. Concluding Point • Recent access to a potential collaboration between university and several VET providers. • The potential list of research topics were all ‘internally’ focuses issues: • Pathways, teacher development, IR issues, aging workforce. • There was not one potential research topic that related to the external activities that VET provider engages in. • Engaging with industry, developing partnerships, improving industry standards.
