RMIT welcomes AUS4ASEAN delegation

For the third time this year, the RMIT Centre for Cyber Security Research and Innovation (CCSRI) is hosting the Australia Awards program, AUS4ASEAN Improving the Digital Readiness and Resilience of TVET Systems in ASEAN, funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

The program welcomes 25 delegates from across the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region to Australia for two weeks of education, innovation and collaboration. The visiting delegates are leading professionals of the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) sector in their home countries. Taking place across two of Australia’s most vibrant, innovative and educational cities, Melbourne and Adelaide, the program will allow delegates to cultivate skills and bolster their digital resilience.

The ASEAN delegates, hailing from various member countries, have brought with them a collective vision of transforming their nations' educational landscapes through the infusion of digital tools and methodologies into TVET programs. The course delves into the integration of cutting-edge technologies into traditional vocational training methods. From augmented reality simulations to online learning platforms, the delegates are immersed in a rich learning experience that mirrors the digital landscape they aim to cultivate back home.

The significance of this endeavour lies not only in the acquisition of technical skills but also in building resilience in the face of a rapidly evolving digital world. The delegates recognize that embracing digitization is not just a matter of keeping up with the times but is a fundamental step towards preparing the workforce for the jobs of the future.

Collaboration is a key theme throughout the program, mirroring the cooperative spirit of the ASEAN nations. Delegates engage in workshops, share best practices, and participate in collaborative projects. An approach that not only enriches the learning experience but also fosters relationships that will continue to develop far beyond the end of the program.

When these delegates return to their respective nations, they will carry with them not just newfound knowledge but also a sense of empowerment to lead their countries into a digitally resilient future.

The RMIT CCSRI is excited to continue the delivery of these programs and contribute to the shared insights, innovations, and connections formed within the region.
