This project was established to provide advice to the Enterprise and Training Provider Working Group of the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) Board about models of intermediary services provided by registered training organisations (RTOs) to enterprises. In the report, intermediary services are defined as those services provided by RTOs in addition to training and assessment services. The project methodology involved reviewing available research on intermediary services, consulting with key stakeholders through a national survey and focus groups, and identifying and developing case studies to illustrate intermediary services.

Better and longer term advice on industry skill needs

Today, Australia holds a position of strength in the global economy. This has been achieved through embracing change, robust growth and a focus on productivity improvements. Vocational education and training has made an important contribution by increasing the skills of Australian workers, which has delivered higher productivity and more innovative work practices. As in many countries a number of changes are also evident in Australia: the developing knowledge-based economy and the growing services sector. The impact of these changes is causing a sea change in skill requirements for Australian industry, as demand for traditional skills in some industries is now being overshadowed by demand for skills to create, organise and apply knowledge and to work with others to do so. The borders of occupations are blurring with the diffusion of technology across industries. Application of new technology impacts on the shelf-life of skills, necessitating accelerated skills development. The other long-standing trend - that of part-time exceeding full-time job gains - is also expected to continue. To ensure that Australia's workforce is at the cutting edge of these developments, the Government, through the ANTA [Australian National Training Authority] Board, needs strong and robust advice from industry about its future skill needs. In 2003 the ANTA Board took two initiatives to strengthen the advice from industry - the launching of a National Industry Skills Forum of industry leaders and the creation of 10 new Industry Skills Councils. The ANTA Board wants to work in partnership with businesses to meet the demand for skills in traditional and emerging industries.

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.

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.

Framing the Future is a major national staff development initiative, funded through the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA), with the primary objective of providing a structure for people in the vocational education and training (VET) sector to develop the skills and knowledge needed to implement the National Training Framework (NTF). The focus of this project report is: 'How the introduction of the National Training Framework will impact on VET courses currently being delivered to Aboriginal students and to students at risk of leaving school early.' It looks at the characteristics of students at risk, case studies, access and success, what can be done, relationship of case studies to the National Training Framework, and concludes with four recommendations.
