The Consortium Research Program: supporting vocational education and training providers in building capability for the future is a high-level research program driven by a consortium of expert Australian researchers. It has won competitive funding from the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) for a program of 9 extensive and interlinked research activities over 2 years. These research activities will provide the evidence on which to base decisions for the future of the VET workforce and which will support workforce change.

- RA2 Literature review – ‘No one grows up saying they want to work in VET, do they?’ A study of career pathways in VET by Michele Simons, Roger Harris, Berwyn Clayton, Phoebe Palmieri, Val Pudney and Sue Gelade is now available. The review examines the various understandings of career and the implications of the changing notions of career for individuals and for those parts of organisations with responsibility for workforce development. The literature relating to the overall VET workforce is also examined with particular emphasis on the changing nature of work in the sector, career pathways and the ways in which various practices are organised to support both individual and organisational development.
