About industry system change
Industry System Change is one of the National VET E-learning Strategy’s business activities to support workforce development in industry through innovative training solutions. The objective is to support the adoption of e-learning in industry by sponsoring the development of industry-wide e-learning plans and programs, including those which have a regional focus.
The focus of Industry System Change on e-learning is to support the training needed for employment, that is, strategic training for skills and workforce development. This is real industry system change using e-learning, not e-learning for one-off training.

Industry System Change 2013-14
The Industry System Change business activity of the National VET E-learning Strategy will draw to a close on 30 June 2013.
The Flexible Learning Advisory Group (FLAG) which has oversight of the National VET E-learning Strategy, will shift its focus from industry sponsorship through co-investment, to concentrate on industry focused policy development.
Further information about FLAG’s proposed policy research program will be made available at www.flexiblelearning.net.au before the new arrangements take effect in July.
Support for industry will remain a priority of the National VET E-learning Strategy and FLAG in 2013-14, including through the continuation of the E-learning for Industry website, e-learning guides and materials and the network of state and territory based E-learning experts.
For more information about the statement from the FLAG Chair on the National VET E-learning Strategy 2013-14 activities, please read more at March issue of Flex e-News.
