The Vocational Major was introduced in Victoria, Australia in 2023 to raise the status of Vocational Education and Training (VET). To address demand for qualified VET teachers in secondary schools, VET trainers without a teaching qualification are granted permission to teach VET. This policy contributes to a vicious circle which maintains the low status of VET education, compromising student learning experience, reinforcing the academic-vocational divide and disincentivising trainers from upskilling. We contend that a virtuous VET circle would include bespoke teacher-preparation designed to expeditiously and sustainably upskill industry-experienced vocational experts to become qualified (VET) school teachers.
