“A highlight of this project was the opportunity for professional conversations with other RTOs and the knowledge that we are not alone”
Project Participant
The ITAB had great pleasure this year in working with 10 RTOs who generously gave their time and support to the ITAB’s Strategic Management project, funded by Reframing the Future. The project ran from May to November with the goal of developing RTO capabilities to continuously improve the quality of training and assessment. This project provided a unique opportunity for RTOs to develop partnerships and engage with each other in a non-competitive environment. They were able to collaboratively benchmark their assessment outcomes, identify continuous improvement actions and broaden strategic management practices.
The RTOs worked in two project teams representing the Children’s Services sector and the Aged Care sector and attended monthly one day workshops to develop a collaborative assessment validation model. The project participants welcomed this opportunity to work in partnership with each other and to take the learning back to their own organisations.
As a result of the collaborative model developed, trialled and evaluated by the project, the ITAB will be able to conduct collaborative assessment validations in the future to support interested RTOs in achieving quality assessment strategies and results. Check the ITAB website for scheduled workshops in 2009.
The success of this project is attributed to the generous support and participation of the following RTOs and the ITAB acknowledges and values their contribution:
The Community Services Training Needs in Rural and Remote NSW research project has been completed. The research encompassed a wide range of community services sectors with 231 rural and remote employers participating in the data collection. This represents over 5200 full time, part time and casual employees. The research findings have been collated into six main rural and remote regions and provide a clear profile of skills shortages, training needs, priority groups and barriers and challenges to training provision.
