VET E-portfolio Showcase

E-portfolios are becoming evermore popular around the world as a tool to enhance learning and assist with personal career development.

The VET E-portfolio Showcase will bring together leaders in education and training from across Australia to discuss how the national training system can best utilise e-portfolios. This event will demonstrate how e-portfolios can:

· support Australia’s economic prosperity by addressing skill shortages
· be successfully implemented to realise key vocational education and training (VET) initiatives including:
- RPL (recognition of prior learning)
- fast tracking apprenticeships and traineeships
- reengagement, retention and reintegration
- work-based learning
- learner mobility
- lifelong learning
· be fostered through communities of practice and the sharing of local case studies at a national level.

This event is a valuable opportunity for anyone interested in adopting e-portfolios in their organisation. The showcase will include a range of guest speakers and break-out sessions, to encourage collaboration and sharing of ideas and experiences.
