She says, “That is something I want to work closely with the sector on, in particular The Australian VET Alumni – you can’t be it, if you can’t see it. We have some fantastic Alumni out there that we need to showcase to Australians.”

National Skills Week is the focal point for the promotion of Australia’s Vocational Education and Training sector (VET). Each year the week continues to celebrate and inform students and the wider public of the diversity and career pathways available through VET. The week communicates the emerging trends and new growth drivers connecting skills training with job outcomes.
