Welcome to the Continuing, Vocational and Educational Policy (CVEP) Hub – a research hub contributing to the growth of knowledge about education and training in Australia through evidence-driven scholarly analysis, consultancy and policy advice.
Our work focusses on pathways within upper secondary education and from upper secondary education into higher education, vocational education and training (VET), work-based training and the labour market, both in an international and a comparative context.
We integrate research, consultancy and teaching in this specialised policy area. We seek to contribute to improve:
- the transitions and learning outcomes of disengaged youth at the national and jurisdictional levels; and
- the quality of VET and upper secondary education systems, processes, practices and outcomes.

Dissemination
The research outcomes and findings of our hub’s work are accessible to a wide range of stakeholder groups, maximising the likelihood of impact. For example, staff are required to publish research findings in top journals and presses as well as translate the outcomes of the research into materials or documents that policy makers and educational practitioners can use. This helps to maximise the impact of the hub’s research findings within the academic community as well at the policy and practice levels.
