As National Competency Standards and Training Packages are introduced into TAFE Institutes, they will affect education programs and, therefore, the library staff and services that support the programs. It is crucial that library staff understand the competency standards so that they may support teaching staff and students in the delivery of Training Packages. This document provides: an explanation of National Competency Standards and National Training Package; a list of key competencies; activities to develop an understanding of Training Packages and competency standards; a glossary of related terms; an annotated bibliography; and a checklist for self-assessment in relation to understanding National Competency Standards and Training Packages.

The key objective of the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF), developed by the National Training Quality Council (NTQC) of the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) board in conjunction with the states and territories in 2001, was to provide the basis for a nationally consistent, high quality vocational education and training (VET) system. There are two sets of standards under the AQTF: standards for registered training organisations (RTOs); and standards for state and territory registering/course accrediting bodies. These standards were reviewed in 2004 and this document contains the 28 revised standards that state and territory registering/course accrediting bodies must follow for: evaluating training organisations to ensure they meet, and continue to meet, the standards for RTOs; registration of training organisations; accreditation of courses; and national recognition.
Companion documents are indexed from TD/ANTA 81.03 to TD/ANTA 81.07. Show less

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.

Hands on the future: project for improving access for Indigenous students in VET in Schools programs: final report

This project investigated the role of VET in Schools (VETiS) for Indigenous students in Australia. Several data sources were consulted, including previous literature on VETiS and Indigenous education, a national survey of students' experiences of postsecondary education and vocational education and training (VET) conducted in 2002, and case study material from interviews with over 280 individuals in 21 schools from diverse settings in all States and Territories. The main aims of the study were to: identify 'good practice' in the provision of VETiS to Indigenous students; identify the factors that constrain the accessibility of VET to Indigenous students; and to make recommendations for increasing access for Indigenous students in VETiS. The case study material generated five key principles that contribute to the successful implementation of VET for Indigenous students. The distinguishing feature of good practice was the ability of schools to combine all five aspects. The key principles are: (1) focus on individual needs; (2) supportive school environment; (3) relevant and engaging curriculum; (4) links with other education and training providers; and (5) community links and partnerships. Several factors constraining the effective delivery of VET to Indigenous students were also revealed by the case study material. These included: systemic constraints; school-based barriers; experience as an Indigenous student; and community and locational barriers. In conclusion, the study provided a national perspective on the role of VETiS for Indigenous students. It demonstrated that VET had four key roles for these students: engaging them with meaningful, 'hands-on' learning; enhancing school retention; providing needed workplace experience; and facilitating the transition to post-school employment and training. The report makes a number of recommendations for improving VETiS provision and accessibility for Indigenous students. Show less
