As part of the IVET continuous improvement journey, we have established the first two of our Advisory Groups – for Sport & Recreation and Hospitality & Kitchen Operations.

The school and industry members of these Advisory Groups will work closely with our Heads of Learning to guide the development of IVET’s products and services throughout 2021.
