Developing Relationships with RTO’s I found a RTO that said: • We will deliver training for all staff • Minimal impact on Production • Training costs will be cost effective or neutral • Onsite trainers – good fit for the business • Training plans will be ‘area specific’, incorporated into daily operations/Roster • deliver quality outcomes • Source funding opportunities 1300 employees have completed Certificate II or III in Food Processing , Cert III in Agriculture or Frontline Management.
What works • On and off the job training • Onsite trainer • Area specific training plans • Employee recognition - Qualification • Cost effective • Employee broader understanding of business • Opportunity for promotion • Trainers with a second language • Reviewing training plans annually
