In this episode Claire outlines what the Productivity Commission's latest 5 year  inquiry Advancing Prosperity  recommends for higher education and VET. 

She then goes on to examine recommendations from some of the key submissions to the Inquiry into the Perceptions and Status of VET .

Finally Claire discusses her own submission to the Inquiry into VET which is also available on her website: https://clairefield.com.au/submission-to-inquiry-into-perceptions-and-status-of-vet/

The Productivity Commission's report has a much heavier emphasis on higher education than VET. So if you work in the VET sector and are mostly interested in the relevant recommendations for VET then skip ahead to about the 27 minute mark - from that point on Claire unpacks the different submissions to the VET Inquiry and then looks at how the most popular submissions to the VET Inquiry align with the Productivity Commission's VET recommendations.
