The estimable National Centre for Vocational Education Research turned 40 yesterday – it celebrated in its usual serious style

“To commemorate this significant milestone, we have released a snappy publication which includes a chronology of key NCVER events,” the centre stated. Very serious snaps.

The NCVER is the superior national source of VET policy explanation and your actual comprehensive oversight of what the training system actually accomplishes – its stats provide evidence that should, but not often enough is, be used to call officials and ministers to account.
