The Skunk-works Framework was developed and approved by education managers and other stakeholders, and aims to facilitate ‘skunkworks’ by teams of educators and business owners working together to find innovative progression pathways.
Bridging the gap between the worlds of education and business is not an easy undertaking. So, this framework document outlines the key components of an innovation ecosystem for VET provision and outlines how a ‘skunk-works’ approach should operate, supporting VET providers with solutions to meet the needs of businesses. And the benefits to businesses and VET for the innovations developed can be assessed following the cost-benefit analysis framework.
