Welcome to WAVE

WAVE is a national network of women involved in VET, ACE and the broad field of work-related education and training. WAVE provides seminars & workshops, research, policy advocacy and advice, as well as networking on a national and state basis.

New WAVE Policy
WAVE, with the support and funding of S4W, has now released our Policy Background paper: Women and Vocational Education & Training: Strategies for Gender Inclusive VET Reform. This is a critical time for us all to promote the inclusion of women and girls as evidenced by the contents of both the COAG reform Agenda, and the establishment of a new ‘equity’ model for VET nationally through NVEAC. The Recommendations paper summarises this urgent focus. An Overview paper is also available.
 
2010 Postcard Campaign
Join WAVE's 2010 Campaign!
Help us make a difference for women in VET!
Let your voice be heard!

WAVE's 2010 pre federal election campaign comes at a critical time, as COAG considers major reform for the VET system. Our 2010 Campaign Package includes a tangible postcard and an e-postcard that seek federal Government commitment to implement a new strategic framework for Australian women with a clear set of priorities and targets that take account of their diverse backgrounds, locations, life stages and needs. This framework must be based on gender analyses and set in the context of key initiatives including the implementation of the COAG Reforms, the Education Revolution and the work of the National VET Equity Advisory Committee. Click on 'Campaigns' on the left hand menu for ways to let your voice be heard!

Join the Campaign for Increased Investment in TAFE
Only TAFE can deliver the quality
training and education Australians
need. But for too long TAFEs
across the nation have been
forced to do more with less. New
research shows funding has been
cut and TAFEs are being forced to
turn away thousands of students
as a result. Staff workloads are
rising and budgets are falling.
Now is the time for action.
Send a message to Julia Gillard
and Wayne Swan letting them
know how important it is to
increase investment in TAFE in
this year’s budget. More info
