The Action Learning Institute and Klarrio APAC have developed a concept for applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to build a SMART VET system in Australia that can deliver the skills reforms we need now and support continuous improvement into the future. This video explains how a central VET Data Platform can provide the data and information needs of a range of users in the system and, in particular, how the introduction of enterprise microcredentials will support qualification reform and engage employers and learners directly in the system to create iterative design feedback loops.

About us
The Action Learning Institute (ALI) is an Australian Registered Training Organisation (RTO Provider 40676) and the first education institution in the world to deliver nationally recognised qualifications entirely through action learning. Since 2020, ALI has developed a strong collaborative relationship with leading data scientists, Klarrio APAC, the Australian arm of Klarrio Worldwide. ALI and Klarrio have established a working agreement for the early development phases of the VETech platform and a microcredential generator https://klarrio.com.au/team-apac/
Case studies
We have been instrumental in establishing an industry learning cluster, called Business Action Learning Tasmania (BALT), a small business model for action learning, called Competitive SME, a ‘whole of organisation’ model, called The Action Learning Organisation, and our flagship Lean Action Learning program is the first example of nationally recognised qualifications delivered entirely through action learning.

Action learning is all about shared learning. We have published Accounts of Practice in peer-reviewed journal, Action Learning Research and Practice.
