Lifelong learning : shared responsibility through enterprising partnerships

Working in partnership with local business, Douglas Mawson Institute of Technology (DMIT) in Adelaide South Australia, has been trialling an integrated enterprise learning model to provide a bridge from the simulated business environment of Practice Firms to the real world of Business Incubators. It is built on the premise that Vocational Education and Training (VET) can contribute significantly to economic and social development through both skills development and sustaining learning pathways throughout life.
