Abstract
In recent years, in both Australia and England, research centres and research policies with regard to vocational education and training (VET) have been introduced. In Australia the National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER) has had responsibility since 1996 for the national VET research and evaluation programme, while in England the Learning and Skills Research Centre (LSRC) was established in 2001 as an independent centre for research into post-compulsory learning. This article aims to compare the origins and aims, and the working so far, of these initiatives.
