The Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) has been funding research that examines design and innovation since 1997. As the research evolved, the findings demonstrated that identifiable skills for innovation are accessible to most of us under the right conditions and can be utilised by all workers in an organisation. This guide considers: What is innovation?; Do you need innovation?; Why is innovation important now?; What are the obstacles to innovation?; What are innovation @ work skills?; What team management is needed?; Case study: Manufacturing; Does innovation mean revolution?; and Case study: Communications.

Mid-term review of Bridging Pathways: final report

This review suggests that Bridging Pathways, the national strategy for people with a disability in vocational education and training (VET), is in the earliest stages of implementation so it is too early to see measurable significant change in outcomes as a direct result of the strategy. However, in terms of the foundations needed for change, the strategy has begun to make a discernible impact.

Project report: research into generic skills across training packages

In response to research and comment about the need for generic skill development through the vocational education and training provision, the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) commissioned a study of training packages to determine how generic skills are addressed. The consultants worked with staff from ANTA and researched sixteen training packages from a range of industries. They sought to identify the skills that are present, how they are described and represented and to make recommendations for meeting the emerging requirements of industry and the community. The framework for the research was provided by an ANTA analysis of a range of Australian and international research that demonstrates a high degree of congruence on a universal set of skills. An analysis of these skills suggests that they can be categorised in three ways: 1. Established employability skills, for example, those defined through the Mayer Key Competencies, for example, communications, problem solving; 2. New dimensions to those established skills, for example, creative problem solving and communicating with empathy; and 3. New skill areas altogether, for example, learning and self-management. Overall the analysis of the training packages suggests that more work in defining and incorporating the generic employability skills is required. This would involve answering these questions: What is the skill?; How is it used at work?; How can it be learned in vocational education and training?; How can this be described in a way that ensures it is appropriately taught and assessed within a training package?; and What information do training package developers, trainers, assessors and supervisors require to help develop these skills?

National strategy for VET 2004-2010: report on additional focus group research on the urban fringe

In September 2002, the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) commissioned Quay Connection and their associates, the Research Forum and Albany Consulting, to conduct focus group research with enterprises, individuals and training providers to inform the new National Strategy for Vocational Education and Training (VET) 2004-2010. The research raised a number of issues indicating the need for further research to better understand the response to VET of some key client groups and the potential role of VET in some key community issues. Two key areas requiring further investigation were: urban fringe, 'aspirational' families and young people; and the role of VET in regional community capacity building and problem solving. This report presents the findings of ANTA-commissioned research with employed adults, parents, young people, and owners or operators of small and medium sized enterprises from 'aspirational' suburbs on the urban fringe.

This report summarises the outcomes of phase one of a review of the local government training package conducted by Australian Local Government Training (ALGT). This first phase is aimed at identifying the nature of work conducted within local government councils across Australia. The review found that restructuring and a broadening ambit of council's responsibilities have led to new work formations in many councils, and there is a need for a greater range of skills and skills of increasing complexity to support this. These changes must be reflected in enhancements to the training package. Show less
