OctoberVET
Each year AVETRA members around
Australia organise community research
events to showcase VET research. These activities complement and extend
the
AVETRA annual conference. These locally convened events are often, but
not
always, held in October - hence OctoberVET! They aim to engage local
VET
researchers and practitioners in discussions about recent and topical
research.
The events are generally half or full day duration.
AVETRA
OctoberVET aims to:
* Broaden the
activity of AVETRA beyond one annual event in one
Australian location
* Provide State
or Territory-based forums for discussion and
presentation of national research approximately six months either side
of the
major annual conference
* Provide a
forum for presentation of State/Territory -based research
and discussion of emerging local and national research and research
issues
* Provide
opportunities for State and Territory-based VET research
stakeholders and AVETRA members to network, including the possible
development
of special and local interest groups.
