Reskilling the manufacturing workforce and developing capabilities for the future*

Funding text 1: Sue Kilpatrick has over 20 years’ experience as a researcher in post compulsory education and community development, including over 280 publications and 80 research grants, many related to VET. She was lead CI on the OLT grant Development of mathematics pathways for VET students to articulate to related higher education courses and the Australian Mathematics and Science Partnership Program national grant Evaluating and selecting STEM resources: Capacity building for teachers in rural and regional schools, and a CI on OLT grants Engineering pathways for regional Australia: Viable learning platforms built by knowledge partnering and Reskilling the manufacturing workforce and developing capabilities for the future. She has overseen three University of Tasmania competitive HEPPP/HEPP grants. Kilpatrick was Director and Associate Director of the Centre for Research and Learning in Regional Australia, 1997-2003. She is Director-Education, Northern Tasmanian Development Corporation.

In particular, those who have contributed to the project from the University of Tasmania: Janelle Allison, Dayna Broun, David Harte, Lee-Anne Britcliffe and Peter Whitley. Karl Sammut from Flinders University. Melissa Findlay from the Department of State Growth, Industry and Business Growth for the Tasmanian Maritime Network final industry survey report and Richard Lowrie from the Tasmanian Maritime Network for his support of the project. In addition we would like to thank the valuable contributions that the VET partners made to the project: Gail Eaton-Briggs, Andrew Harris and Kristi Robertson from TasTAFE; Ian Patterson from Skills Tasmania.; Funding text 4: Bernardo A León de la Barra has been a research team member on a number of federally funded projects including “Development of mathematics pathways for VET students to articulate to related higher education courses”, and “Reskilling the manufacturing workforce and developing capabilities for the future”, both funded by the OLT; “STEMCrAfT (STEM Critical Appraisal for Teachers) Building capacity for rural and regional STEM teachers using a peer support model”, funded by the AMSPP. He is also a project team member in the 2015–18 AMSPP-funded project titled “Towards Educating Mathematics Professionals Encompassing Science and Technology: TEMPEST”. His key research interests include integrative approaches to STEM education, equity and inclusion in the STEM fields.
