About the program
VETConnect was an online professional learning program for VET and skills subject teachers in Australia and India. It aimed to enhance teacher skills, integrate industry perspectives, and improve the quality of school-based VET and skills-based offerings.
VETConnect supported the Government of India's New Education Policy 2020 and flagship Skill India initiative, as well as strategic industry and skilling priorities within the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Australia and India.
The VETConnect program was conducted from August to November 2022. It involved 20 teachers from 14 schools in India and Australia, focusing on supporting rural and regional schools. The program comprised four phases of synchronous professional learning, with 20 hours of training.
86% of participating educators reported improved professional skills and knowledge in VET education. The Action Research project was crucial to the program's success, with participating teachers implementing new strategies into their classroom, sharing knowledge with colleagues and developing collaborative relationships between schools in Australia and India.
