SpinalWorks has been designed to better coordinate the delivery of vocational education and training (VET) programs for participants with spinal cord injury in three metropolitan spinal units. The units are the Royal Rehabilitation Centre (Moorong) in Ryde, Prince of Wales Hospital (POW) at Randwick and Royal North Shore Hospital (RNS). The stated goal of the SpinalWorks as described in the project’s management plan, has been to: Provide seamless transition of VET programs to participants, commencing in acute rehabilitation phase through to community placement, including career planning and employment transition planning (Management Plan, 2004-2005). The most important finding of the project has been the necessity of ensuring continuity of the face to face teaching carried out in the rehabilitation units. This early intervention approach to vocational education and training of the SpinalWorks project has a number of positive outcomes for clients and for TAFE New South Wales (NSW). The opportunity to integrate people into training either through the Open Training and Education Network (OTEN) or their local TAFE college after discharge has been greatly improved through this early contact in the rehabilitation units. Additionally, the provision of early intervention counselling, enrolment and training is enhanced by the cross linkages emanating from collaboration in the Motor Accident Authority’s (MAA) pilot Community Participation Project (CPP).
