Help younger generations approach learning in a VET environment

Younger people have grown up with ‘helicopter parenting’ and ‘everyone wins a prize’, so how they build their personal relationships and interact with others significantly influences how they engage and learn in a VET training setting.

This is particularly evident in modern workplaces, where employers are adapting and changing the ways they interact and engage with younger people in order to attract and retain their younger staff.

This means that designing and facilitating training for young VET learners requires a collaborative approach, starting from shifting from ‘teaching’ to ‘facilitating’ learning using learning strategies based on learning theories and principles for younger learners.

This also involves working collaboratively with other trainers and educators, and the young learners themselves, to co-construct a learning environment which caters for their diverse learning needs.

Join this session to explore how to:

  • Use collaborative learning environments to support young VET learners

  • Build session / lesson plans that support learning needs and goals of young VET learners

  • Use strategies from cognitive load theory to better support learner comprehension, retention and recall

  • Identify and implement strategies to support diverse learners’ needs
