For this action-learning research project, and to support the development of the NDIS Vocational Placement Resource Kit, TAFE Queensland has produced a series of six fact sheets and a research report that focuses on quality vocational placement.
Quality vocational placements form an essential role in the development of this workforce and this initiative reinforces the value of vocational placement as an essential and increasingly recognised element of an organisation’s recruitment process

Vocational education and training has an important role in the preparation of staff in the disability sector.
Vocational placement is a critical component in effectively aligning practices to opportunities that support workforce recruitment and can lead to the development of a highly skilled and responsive workforce to meet the needs and requirements of people with a disability.
Reports indicate a shortage of workers in the disability space yet difficulties placing students studying in qualifications with mandatory vocational placements.
Read the NDIS Vocational Placement Initiative Report for insights into consultation with the sector as well as incentives and strategies to support quality vocational placements.
