In this episode of the podcast Claire explains why Skills Ministers are embarking on reforms to VET qualifications, where the process is up to, and what the changes are likely to mean for RTOs. She also explains why there's a demand for change and why the VET sector might go through all of this effort, only to find industry subsequently arguing (again) for more specificity and prescription.
