The Shared Technology website supports a research project into how new technology will affect the provision of training in the vocational education and training (VET) sector. The project has been funded by the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) through the ElectroComms and EnergyUtilities Qualifications Standards Body Australia. The project aims to inform industry and VET administrators about the range of emerging technologies that are likely to be shared across the automotive, building and construction, engineering, electrical, electronics, information technology and telecommunications industries. The purpose is to make sure that enough information is received in order to plan for training in these areas to meet future skill requirements. This project uses data collected from individual interviews with industry representatives, written submissions and reports from the industries themselves.The website is designed to provide students, trainers and others with some of the data that the research is uncovering. It will be regularly updated to provide interested individuals with information on the progress of the project.
A number of documents emerging from the project are available on the website: (1) the research report from the project, 'Shared technology: a roadmap for traditional and emerging industries to 2008' (available in VOCEDplus at TD/ANTA 75.04); (2) a conference paper, 'Shifting industry borders: the demand for future skills in industries using new and shared technology', which was presented at the National Industry Skills Forum by the Chief Executive of the Australian Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers' Association, which presents an overview and elaboration of the findings of the research report (available in VOCEDplus at TD/ANTA 76.15); and (3) 'Issues paper for research into institutional pathways outcomes against technology based National Training Packages, which sets out the background for the project and is available in VOCEDplus at TD/ANTA 76.16.

This report presents the outcomes of a major project examining credit transfer and articulation arrangements between the higher education (HE) and vocational education and training (VET) sectors in Australia. The project was commissioned at the end of 1998 by the Australian Vice-Chancellors’ Committee (AVCC) and the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) in response to the need for research on the impact of VET sector reforms (Training Packages; the Australian Recognition Framework) on cross-sector arrangements. The project was conducted throughout 1999 and involved four case studies (Agriculture, Hospitality and Tourism Training, Community Services, and Telecommunications Training Packages), a national survey of key stakeholders and broad consultations. The aim was to develop a combined ANTA/AVCC draft national policy reflective of the new VET environment and the developing nature of cross-sector collaboration. The report provides a comprehensive summary of the current range of cross-sector qualification linkages, including credit transfer, articulation, combined dual sector qualifications undertaken concurrently, and other forms of qualifications linkages. In addition, the report identifies the range of organisational models, drivers and barriers to cross-sector collaboration, and the issues and potential benefits of linkages involving Training Package qualifications.
The AVCC response to the VETASSESS report ‘Pathways to partnerships’ is indexed at TD/TNC 67.265. Show less

Staff capability review approaches in a context of emerging technologies: literature review and exemplars

This review was designed as an initial phase to inform the parameters and direction of possible frameworks or models in staff capability towards flexible learning services using technologies. The study was conducted over two weeks, from 22 May to 1 June 2000, and was designed to find out what, if any, frameworks, models or approaches currently exist for reviewing staff capability towards flexible learning and the use of technologies to achieve business objectives.
The study includes the following findings: (1) a Staff Capability Review Framework involves an initial assessment phase that informs change management planning; (2) whilst many useful frameworks or models have been developed, evidence of a fully integrated, clearly articulated system that reviews both individual and organisational capability in flexible learning using technologies is difficult to find; (3) a wealth of characteristics derived from all sources was identified, which could be drawn upon to develop a conceptual framework; (4) some detailed, useful models with extensive inventories in relation to staff competency and capability in the use of technology for flexible learning were located in the project. The best examples were found in publicly funded education and training systems. TAFE SA is perhaps the most advanced in integrating all levels, macro and micro, of capability review in relation to online education. This model could provide the basis for a systemic and individual capability review framework for staff in vocational education and training (VET); (5) the application of a change management model (Concerns-Based Adoption Model, CBAM) to staff development in relation to flexible learning using technologies proved to be effective; and (6) the case study examples from the Staff Capability Review Network workshop/focus group and the telephone interviews show strong adoption of exemplar models of organisational change management. Staff competency and capability were incorporated into the review mechanisms and link the results to training and development.
