ALT Recommended titles (from left to right): Untapped: How Australia can reap economic benefits from better utilising the skills of migrants and refugees; Is the gig economy a stepping stone for refugees?

ALT The image on the left side is part of the first page of the article entitled 'Beyond job placement: careers for refugees' by Nancy Arthur, Mary McMahon, Peyman Abkhezr and Jon Woodend. The quote on the right side is: "Assisting refugees to update their qualifications and skills, advance their employment and income prospects, and realize their potential in meaningful and sustainable employment requires an expansion from services that emphasize initial job placement to services that enable their longer-term career development. Access to high-quality career advice and services is crucial to facilitate refugees' success for transitioning into employment that extends beyond entry- level jobs."

ALT New title in VOCEDplus: Activating the full potential of micro-credentials in Canada.

ALT Recommended titles (from left to right): Microcredentials: striving to combine credibility and agility, The place of micro-credentials in New Zealand, Public policies for effective micro-credential learning.
ALT New title in VOCEDplus: Leveraging artificial intelligence to support students with special education needs.

ALT Three recommended titles (from left to right): Artificial Intelligence Literacy Framework; What should teachers teach and students learn in a future of powerful AI?; AI amplified: what Gen Zs think of AI
