  1. Using training packages to deliver workforce development services Facilitator: Gerard Kell

  2. Topics • VET Environment • Providing workforce development services to enterprise • Training Packages • Training Needs Analysis – organisational/individual/group • Developing a learning program

  3. VET Environment: Stakeholders in VET • Council of Australian Governments (COAG ) • National Quallity Council • Industry Skills Councils • State and Territory Training Authorities • Registered Training Organisations • Industry representative and organisations • DEEWR - Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations • National Training System • AQTF 2007 • AQF • Training Packages • Changing role of the teacher

  4. Workforce development services The TAFE NSW Workforce Development Guarantee focuses on developing the critical capabilities need by TAFE staff to do business in the 21st Century. The ability to match training needs to appropriate competencies and provide recommendations for a work based learning pathway, will be very important when providing workforce development services to enterprises and assisting businesses to develop their workforce skills.

  5. Training package • A Training Package in Australia is a set of nationally-endorsed standards, qualifications and guidelines used to recognise and assess the skills and knowledge people need to perform effectively in the workplace. • Training packages are developed by industry through Industry Skills Councils or by enterprises to meet the training needs of an industry or group of industries. • Training packages prescribe outcomes required by the workplace, not training or education. • A Training Package contains three compulsory endorsed components—Competency Standards, Qualifications Framework and Assessment Guidelines.

  6. Training needs analysis • Methods for collecting information and data • Gathering information and data • Analysing information and data • Matching needs to Training Package units of competency

  7. Learning program Learning programs document a cohesive and integrated learning process for the learner. • learning outcomes or the learning objectives • outline the content, • sequence and structure of learning and the delivery and assessment method/s

  8. Components of a learning program • Purpose • Competencies to be addressed • Learning outcomes • Content • Learning resources and activities • Number and duration of training sessions • Delivery methods • Assessment • Program evaluation

  9. Case Study • A TAFE NSW Sydney Institute business services team has been approached by a small enterprise to provide a workforce development solution to its staff. • The three areas that need to be developed are: • Business computing - BSBITU203A - Communicate electronically http://www.ntis.gov.au/?/trainingpackage/BSB07/unit/BSBITU203A • Customer service - BSBCMM301A-Process customer complaints http://www.ntis.gov.au/?/trainingpackage/BSB07/unit/BSBCMM301A • Green skills - BSBSUS201A-Participate in environmentally sustainable work practices http://www.ntis.gov.au/?/trainingpackage/BSB07/unit/BSBSUS201A

  10. Case Study • A learning program based around a TAFE Learning and Assessment Strategy has been developed and approved by the manager. • Your task is to provide the educational detail for the project. The manager wants the learning to align with a training package unit of competency in this phase and maybe later would be interested in further training that might lead to a qualification. • The business is busy so you need to consider various options for learning pathways. • Groups / Individual staff may need to have a personalised learning program developed

  11. Learning and assessment pathways • the number of competencies to be achieved • Professional conversation • Existing qualifications • Informal learning • Individual Learning Plan • Work based project • Learning activities

  12. Learning Styles • What are the different way people learn? • Auditory • visual • kinaesthetic • left/right brain • global/analytical • theoretical • activist • pragmatist • Reflective • Go to Learning Styles for more information

  13. Adult learning principles • adults have a need to be self-directing • adults have a range of life experience, so connecting learning to experience is meaningful • adults have a need to know why they are learning something • training needs to be learner-centred to engage learners • the learning process needs to support increasing learner independence

  14. Pedagogical approaches • Learning has moved for the theories of behaviourism to constructivism and connectivism • Facilitating the learning experience • Learning by doing

  15. Work based learning • A learning experience that connects knowledge and skills obtained in the classroom setting to those needed outside the classroom in the workplace • comprises a range of activities and instructional strategies designed to assist workers in developing or fulfilling their personal learning plans

  16. Work based delivery strategies • Focus eg group / individuals • Context e.g. Workplace, Simulated, • Mode e.g.Face-to-face, Online, blended • Method eg work based, coaching, guided facilitation

  17. Work based learning design • Sequence of collaborative of learning activities • Can incorporate single learner content, but also collaborative tasks such as discussion, voting, small group debate, etc • Can be stored, re-used, customised

  18. Resourcing a work based learning program • Operational • Learning materials • Need to be a aware of what is available • Available resources

  19. Work based assessment methods • Direct observation • Structured activities • Questioning • Recognition Portfolios • Product review • Third party feedback

  20. Reviewing a work based learning progam • Questionnaire • Mapping tool • Checklist • Focus group • Structured interview • Who should be involved?
