Vocational Education and Training (VET) plays an important role in Australian educational system. VET system is provided in colleges, Technical and Further Education (TAFE) training institutions, private registered training organisations (RTOs) and community-based adult education centres [2]. The main purposes of VET are improving people's skills before they enter workforce or upskilling them after they entered the workforce. In this paper, we discuss the disadvantaged groups in Australian society and in the VET system and how participation in VET system improves the life chances of people in these groups. Also, we discuss the VET funding policy and the social implications of current Australian VET and lifelong learning policy towards the disadvantaged groups.

The clinical learning environment offers meaningful learning opportunities for nursing students to apply theoretical knowledge to practice on actual or simulated patients. A previous systematic review assessed the quality of several instruments that evaluated the quality of clinical learning environments. This updated systematic review aimed to identify: any additional instruments that have been researched in the last 5 years, ii) the psychometric properties of available instruments and iii) the estimated comparable psychometric properties of the available instruments.

Blockchain technology (BT) revolutionised remittance transactions recording, banks and remittance institutes have shown growing interest in exploring blockchain's potential advantages over traditional practices. This paper presents a data-driven predictive decision support approach as an innovative artefact designed for blockchain-oriented remittance industry. Employing theory-generating Design Science Research (DSR) approach, the transaction Big Data (BD) driven predictive emerged. The artefact integrates Predictive Analytics (PA) and Machine Learning (ML) to enable real-time transactions monitoring, empowering management decision-makers to address challenges in the uncertain digitized landscape of blockchain-oriented remittance companies. Bridging the gap between theory and the practice, this research safeguards the remittance ecosystem while fostering future predictive decision support solution with its PA advancement in other domains. Additionally, the generation of theory from the artifact's implementation enriches the DSR approach and fosters grounded and stakeholder theory development in the Information Systems (IS) domain.

This workshop will develop your knowledge and skills for designing education programs for falls prevention research. It will include enhancing your skills in how to critique, develop, implement, measure and report educational interventions and outcomes.

This is a presentation that was given at a VATL LIT Workshop, sharing the experiences of Holmesglen Library in setting up an Institutional Repository.
