The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, under the Aus4ASEAN Digital Transformation and Future Skills initiative, is extending an invitation to individuals from ASEAN nations to participate in an Aus4ASEAN Short Course on New Technologies in TVET (Policies and Programs).

The two-week short course is designed for ASEAN citizens working in the field of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and skills development, and will be delivered in Australia three times, in February, June and July 2024.

While in Australia, the participants will have an opportunity to connect with Australian government agencies and TVET training providers that are incorporating new tech into TVET training.

Disadvantaged women and people with disability are strongly encouraged to apply. All applications must be submitted online before Sunday, 19 November 2023, at 11:59 pm (local time) at this link. For more information, visit this page.
