Australian Qualifications Framework Discussion Paper 30 June, 2009 | Submission The ACTU submits that a qualifications framework must meet a number of key objectives. In doing so they must, of course, remain fit for the purpose for which they were developed. This has particular resonance in the VET sector where any outcome of a review of the existing qualifications framework must recognise the inherent relationship between qualifications outcomes (particularly though not exclusively) in the VET sector. The relationship between vocational qualifications and work cannot be ignored in any review of the AQF. These objectives include: Provide a link between training outcomes and occupations Clear and unambiguous Institutionally neutral Be reliable, easy to use and easy to understand Be accessible Assist employers and employees understanding of what a qualification at level means in practice Download File: ACTI Submission - Australian Qualifications Framework Discussion Paper
