  1. SUPPORT NETWORKS for New Apprenticeships to Assist Completions • The Project 1999-2000 • Department of Education,Training • and Youth Affairs

  2. Is non-completion a concern? • Yes, but • some non-completion will always occur (move to a better job, • illness, personal reasons); and • partial completion may not be a negative outcome (skills gained lead to employment).

  3. Research into non-completion • In regard to non-completion: • the longer a person stays in the traineeship, the better theemployment outcomes.

  4. Can support networks assist • with completion?

  5. Models for Support NetworksAn ANTA / DETYA Project 1999-2000 Aim?To develop and trial support networks for New Apprentices at risk of not completing.The models had to be innovative, practical and self-sustaining. They should have national applicability and be transferable. What is a Support Network? Strengthened communication networks that use existing infrastructure of intermediary organisations and use community and regional development activities where appropriate.

  6. Stage One (May – Dec 1999): • Development of models • The researchphaseinvolved a literature search (national and international), focus group research and case study work. • Four models were developed: • regional model • Indigenous community model • industry driven model • community driven model

  7. Stage Two (Dec 1999–Sept 2000): • Trialing of the 4 models • The trialing phase involved 3 States: • regional model - Melbourne Vic • Indigenous model -Torres Strait NT • industry driven model - Illawarra NSW • community driven model - Bega NSW

  8. Regional Support Model • Process: Regular meetings, improved early warning monitoring systems, better information provision particularly in relation to the ‘VET agency’ roles. • Outcomes: New Apprentices and employers know who to contact for assistance with problems; employers are more aware of obligations and duties; and agencies have an improved monitoring system to flag potential problems.

  9. Remote Indigenous Community • Support Model • Process: Regular meetings, appropriate support strategies, better information provision through radio broadcasts. • Outcomes: The community is better able to provide support; employers have a better appreciation of what is required; New Apprentices, employers and involved community members are more aware and able to access programmes and agencies providing support.

  10. Industry Driven Volunteer Mentor Support Model • Process: Mentoring programme established, regular mentoring meetings with employers and New Apprentices, referral to outside agencies where required. • Outcomes: Improved communication between al parties and improved linkage in the delivery of training services.

  11. Community Driven Volunteer Support Model • Process: Mentoring programme established, regular mentoring meetings with employers and New Apprentices, referral to outside agencies where required. • Outcomes: Improved communication between all parties and improved linkage in the delivery of training services.
