  1. COMPETENCY BASED COMPLETIONSGeoff Foster - OTTE (Skills Victoria) 17 April 2008

  2. Competency and Apprenticeships • Apprenticeships have ALWAYS been about competency • The concept of “time served”

  3. Auspicing of CBCs • Actions auspiced by COAG agreement and by Victorian Skills Statement • “By December 2006 once apprentices or trainees have demonstrated competency to the satisfaction of their employer and RTO they will be able to be certified by the State Training Authority as competent without the need to make special application for this or the need to serve a minimum time” (COAG) • “The Government will work with industry to ensure that early completion is a common feature. The key….will be to ensure that the quality assurance for RTOs is rigorous” (Skills Statement – Accelerating Apprenticeships)

  4. Competency based completionsvs Competency Based Wages • The two can co-exist or exist separately • Fair Pay Commission reference – now withdrawn • Competency based wages exist only in the Engineering trades for now

  5. CBC Progress Outside Engineering • Identified needs • - inform employers and stakeholders to gain acceptance and participation • - changes for Group Training • - reform of TAFE delivery, communication and assessment practices

  6. The two processes • Interim system employer driven and is technically COAG compliant • The preferred way forward is more RTO driven with employer consultation • Utilises the RTOs responsibility for assessment under the AQTF • Competency will now trigger contract completion

  7. The preferred model • Employer consultation in the development of training plans • On-going performance dialogue between RTO, employer and apprentice • Simple and transparent dispute resolution based on existing grievance procedures and peer review

  8. TAFE Development Centre • Researched and identified good practice models already existing in these areas • Information workshops in April and May • (book now folks!!!)

  9. Where too from here?? • Victorian Skills Commission considers project reports and determines way forward • Negotiate any changes needed in delivery guidelines • Employer and stakeholder communication strategies • Assessment confirmation by employers • Working together to make it happen • Any questions??
