Learners undertaking Vocational Education and Training (VET) must complete placement in a workplace for some courses. There is currently a lack of consistency in how these Mandatory Workplace Requirements (MWRs) are expressed in training products and there is variation in how they are interpreted and implemented by Training Providers. The Federal Department of Education, Skills and Employment (DESE) are inviting stakeholders to provide their feedback on how MWRs are currently undertaken and how they might be improved.
