Links between concepts of skill, concepts of occupation, and the training system: A case study of Australia (original) (raw)

This paper explores the connection between concepts of skill, occupational identity, and the vocational education and training (VET) system in Australia. It highlights the challenges faced by various occupations in securing training funding and examines the implications of these challenges for access to quality vocational training. A case study reveals significant disparities in training funding among different occupations, particularly those less valued in society, raising concerns about occupational equality and the future of VET.
