Job Ready Certificate Discussion Paper
The Department engaged a consultant, Professor Richard Sweet, in late 2008 to develop a discussion paper and assist with stakeholder consultations early in 2009.
The discussion paper:
- Describes the key features of the Job Ready Certificate;
- Outlines the main issues in designing and implementing it; and
- Suggests ways to resolve these issues.
Three sets of issues are discussed in the paper:
- What should be assessed and how;
- The certificate itself - what it might look like and who might award it; and
- Development and implementation.
