RPL Candidates & Practitioners - Career Transition Stories & Gaps

**A Candid Conversation on RPL** After months of intensive research, the report for the Australasian VET Research Association and the Victorian Skills Authority The Australasian Vocational Education and Training Research Association (AVETRA) is finally public. At 222 pages, it is perhaps one of the most comprehensive looks into the Australian RPL landscape in recent times. But I know that for busy VET professionals, a 222-page document is a lot to digest. What we often overlook is that behind the RPL process, compliance, research, data, policy, and (perceived) complexity is a person trying to navigate a career transition. This is becoming more frequent as the working world rapidly changes with the green and digital transitions. I am thrilled to join Paul Pellier in an upcoming **free webinar** where we can move past the technical text and have a real conversation about the future of skills recognition. What we'll explore together: This session is designed as a deep-dive interview and Q&A where I’ll be sharing: The 'Blind Spots': Identifying the gaps in Australia’s current approach to RPL data collections. The Technical 'How': I’ll spend 15 minutes detailing how I apply the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence when building and evaluating RPL tools and programs to ensure they are both compliant and accessible. Success Stories: practical examples of how RPL has successfully transformed career pathways for working individuals. To Our Jobs and Skills Councils & (T)VET Leaders As we look to align training with the evolving needs of industry, we must address RPL underutilisation and systemic hurdles in skill recognition. I invite you to join this session to discuss how we can improve RPL projects and make the system work for every learner. *** This is a free session, and we want to hear your voice. I am particularly interested in hearing from candidates and practitioners about their career transition journeys. 👋 Please connect and send a direct message, and we can chat about your success stories. What worked, what didn't, what could have been done better? Please share any burning questions I can prioritise for you.
