(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/studyfoxx/public_html/proactivetraining.com.au/news/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6121The Department of Education, Skills and Employment (DESE) has just released a consultation draft for a VET workforce development strategy.<\/p>\n
It focuses on these four themes: capability frameworks and professional standards; industry currency, qualifications and entry pathways; professional development and support and supporting learner cohorts.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe consultation draft of the VET Workforce Quality Strategy<\/a> (the draft Strategy) is now available for feedback via an online feedback and submission process<\/a>.\u201d It builds on consultations and information they have heard, including through a previously published article<\/a> and a\u00a0 feedback document<\/a> summarising the messages from DESE\u2019s consultation process to date. The draft strategy provides some contextual information about the nature and size of VET\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n Strategy support measures include understanding what best practice looks like both to develop the capability of VET\u2019s teachers, trainers and assessors and to develop \u201ctools, resources and guidance material to assist RTOs to support their workforce and help trainers and assessors in their role.\u201d This focus on tolls and resources, in essence, seems to be the focus of the strategy when you look at the \u2018measures to support the quality of the VET trainer and assessor workforce\u2019 proposed in Attachment A of the document. Implementation phases over the next three years (2022-2024) are proposed along with \u2018indicators of success\u2019.<\/p>\n The headings below summarise the major foci of the proposed strategy.<\/p>\n There are a range of existing capability frameworks, although the only national one is somewhat dated. Misko and her colleagues<\/a> took a look at this and other relevant issues recently, too. The strategy proposes developing a new updated one to assist with providers\u2019 workforce planning and management, along with \u201cguidance material for individual RTOs to tailor the final product to their organisation.\u201d<\/p>\n This focuses around issues with the TAE training package and the review the Education Industry Reference Committee has commissioned. A first step will be to develop a set of principles to ensure the review of the Training and Education Training Package supports the diversity of roles and career pathways within the sector.<\/p>\n This step calls for the development of high-quality professional development resources in areas of need and developing best practice principles \u201cwhich identify the characteristics of high quality and effective professional development.\u201d It will also look at developing resources to support induction and mentoring and a series of \u2018best practice\u2019 case studies. However, the proposed strategy notes that: \u201cThe costs associated with undertaking professional development will remain the responsibility of the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n In the first instance this will involve the development of \u201ca series of best practice examples and case studies to demonstrate to RTOs what constitutes best practice in supporting the trainer and assessor workforce.\u201d In subsequent years, these will be promoted, shared and evaluated. \u201cA key focus of these resources will be showcasing the diverse nature of the VET sector, [its] delivery settings and learners.\u201d<\/p>\n Finally, the strategy proposes gaining a better understanding of the current VET workforce, as well as how the workforce can be grown, retained and developed. In addition, it\u2019s proposed that work will \u201cbe commissioned to scope the value of conducting a regular data collection for the VET workforce, and the most effective way to collect this data without imposing additional burden on the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n You can complete a submission survey<\/a>, which is open until 5pm on Monday 27 September<\/u>. It asks you about disclosure, your contact information, your role in the sector, where you live, and how you see a workforce development strategy working in practice.
