Abstract: The vocational education and training (VET) sector plays a vital role in shaping Australia's workforce by providing individuals with the knowledge, skills and qualifications needed to enter and succeed in the labour market. Including the voices and contributions of a range of stakeholders will ensure the VET sector meets the needs of a diverse population and plays a role in the development of a resilient and adaptable workforce. The National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) 2025 'No Frills' conference, "Diverse Voices in VET," provides a forum to reflect on and promote dialogue on the broad diversity of the VET sector -- its offerings, stakeholders, training providers and student cohorts -- and to foster debate on both the challenges and opportunities currently confronting the sector. This discussion paper reflects on these issues, specifically, the diversity of the VET sector and the ways in which the voices and needs of the various stakeholders are heard, and demonstrates how stakeholder engagement can contribute to innovative policies, practices and programs that fulfil student ambitions and meet workforce skill gaps.
