IEPA met with the Hon Steve Irons MP, Assistant Minister for Vocational Education, Training and Apprenticeships and the Hon Alan Tudge MP, Minister for Cities, Urban Infrastructure and Population in Melbourne to discuss the Joyce review and Government action following its recommendations. The Assistant Minister in his response added that there was a strong need for growth in training and apprenticeships in regional areas and announced that the Government has set up a new Expert Advisory Panel to revitalise VET.
IEPA will continue to pursue a fair regulatory regime on behalf of its members, ensuring the Government’s understanding of the issues faced by our industry.
