Up until recently, Nicole was the Principal Consultant for Vocational Education and Training (VET) at the School Curriculum and Standards Directorate in the Department of Education. In this role she provided strategic advice and leadership at both state and national levels on matters relating to VET, secondary education and policy development aimed at maximising the effectiveness of student transition across the range of post-secondary pathways.
