Australian-listed Vocation will implement a five-point plan aimed at turning around its fortunes. The vocational education provider will adopt a new business name and rebrand several of its businesses, while more than 40 of its courses will be discontinued. CEO Stewart Cummins is confident that the group will become profitable in 2015-16. Vocation currently boasts just 160 employees, with its workforce cut due to asset sales and redundancies.
