| Sumario: | This report overviews a project that was designed to assist in renewing the curriculum for Australian youth work professional education. The project was intended to anticipate future education and training requirements for the youth work professional; articulate the aspirations, common content, pedagogy, values and guiding principles of Australian university youth work professional education; and articulate its relationship with the [vocational education and training] VET youth worker-training curriculum. In addition, the project was intended to investigate potential for cross-institutional sharing of courseware and educational materials and will facilitate future benchmarking, inter-sectoral and inter- professional pathways, and international qualification recognition. The intention was to promote long-term change through the establishment of a cross-sectoral Youth Work Educators Network. A secondary purpose of the project was to understand the challenges niche professional courses face and provide a sustainability model. From this preliminary work, it was hoped that it would be possible to suggest some starting points for a sustainability model for other 'niche' professions. The initial project team included representatives of all Australian youth work professional degree programmes in public universities. An additional representative from a youth work professional degree programme at a private higher education provider subsequently joined the team. [VOCEDplus] |
