Beyond the Standard: Motivators of High-Performing RTOs -- Support Document
Waugh, Joanne
National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER)
The quality of registered training organisations (RTOs) remains a topic of great interest to users of both vocational education and training (VET) and governments as the VET sector adapts to deliver on forecast workforce and skilling needs. All RTOs must adhere to minimum quality standards, but some deliver above and beyond those standards. This research builds upon the work of Guthrie and Waters (2021, 2022) to examine what motivates such RTOs to pursue high performance. State and territory governments were asked to nominate RTOs that are considered to deliver outstanding outcomes for students and/or industry. From the nomination list, high-performing RTOs operating in a variety of settings were invited to participate. The leaders of the RTOs were interviewed to explore their understanding of high performance, what motivates them to pursue high performance, how it is embedded into business practices and how they determine whether they are high performers.
