Veteran Employment Program: Veteran Recognition of Prior Learning - Tertiary Support (Round 3)
Tender ID: 592057
Tender Details
Tender Description
This Tender is invited by the Issuer.
The Veteran Recognition of Prior Learning program comprises 3 separate grant opportunities over 3 years, from 2023–24 to 2025–26. The program was announced as part of the Veteran Employment Program in the October 2022–23 Budget under the ‘Veterans’ Wellbeing Package’. For this grant opportunity, the Australian Government is providing up to $250,000 (GST exclusive) during the 2025–26 financial year for the final round of the program.
The purpose of the program is to support higher education providers, including Australian Universities, to recognise the skills and learning veterans gain from their Australian Defence Force service, and in so doing, support veterans to undertake tertiary education. This assistance is targeted at higher education providers to adapt and apply existing tertiary credit mapping frameworks (including those for micro-credentials), or to adapt, expand direct or assisted entry, or recognition of prior learning (RPL) pathways.
The objectives of the program are to:
- enable a smoother entry to university for veterans who may require additional support to achieve a successful education outcome
- provide support to universities to enhance veteran RPL frameworks and support for veterans pursuing further study within tertiary institutions
- ensure RPL and support for veterans entering study at tertiary institutions are sustained beyond the grant funding period.
Eligibility:
To be eligible you must be one of the invited organisations listed in section 4.1 of the Grant Opportunity Guidelines and have received an invitation to apply through GrantConnect.
Instructions for Application Submission: By invitation only.
