Discussion Lists

Email discussion lists are the heart of the VECO online community. The original general purpose list is voced-coord which is a general purpose list for those involved in all aspects of vocational education. Special Focus Networks are also available on specific areas of interest. Explore the lists and see if one's suited to you.

Program Registry People from around Australia register their vocational education programs in the VECO Program Registry. Use this online database to learn what others are doing, contact people who share your interests or even register your own program.

Events Scrapbook VECO people are involved in many online events, conferences, and workshops all across Australia. Page through the Scrapbook to see people you know and maybe even yourself!

Online Guests VECO frequently plays host to people who have something to share with the vocational education community. Online guests contribute their thoughts via the voced-coord list and VECO Web support pages. Online resources and archived discussions make this a valuable place to spend time if you want to learn what some pioneers in the field are up to.

Special Focus Networks These National Networks bring together people who share a common interest in particular aspects of Vocational Education. Examples are Reworking Years 9 - 10 (9-10network) and Rural and Remote Areas Vocational Education (RRAVE-On).

The VECO Café The VECO Café Chat is a multipurpose real time chatroom that supports online Webcasts from conferences, real time chats with Online Guests, and impromptu meetings among VECO members.

Events Calendar Sometimes the best networking has nothing to do with wires, but takes place between people at conferences or workshops. Find out what's going on around the country and feel free to add to the VECO Events Calendar.

Resources Library When people discover a good resource, they post it to the VECO Resources Library. This searchable database was created to share and filter the best materials for vocational education.
