May 2020 Edition

May 2020

CEO UPDATE

Last week the Federal Government announced its 3 step Roadmap to a COVIDsafe Australia designed to get the economy moving more sustainably. As the country prepares for recovery, the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector will play a pivotal role in addressing critical gaps and ensuring the workforce is skilled to underpin the economic recovery.

Over the last month, we have initiated meetings with the 11 Industry Reference Committees (IRCs) we support to gather information regarding the impact of COVID-19 and inform government decision-making.

AISC Emergency Response Sub-committee

In late April, the AISC Emergency Response Sub-committee initiated activities for boosting the development of infection control skills. Just a couple of weeks later, the COAG Skills Council endorsed a new 'Infection Control' skill set for use across multiple industries. The Skill Set has been developed to provide infection control training across a range of occupations and industries to decrease the risk and transmission of infection as people carry out their daily duties.

Release 6 of the Transport and Logistics Training Package

The COAG Skills Council also endorsed Release 6 of the Transport and Logistics Training Package, which provides nationally recognised VET qualifications for occupations that are integral to Australia's supply chain. Revisions to the Training Package take account of new technology affecting job roles in all parts of the transport and logistics sector.

2020 IRC Skills Forecasts

The 2020 IRC Skills Forecasts and Proposed Schedules of Work, which prioritise the skill needs of their industry sectors and propose future Training Package development activity, are due to be submitted to the AISC soon. The Aviation, ESI Generation and Public Safety IRCs have determined not to submit their Skills Forecasts for 2020 as no further Training Package work is forecast for this year. Once finalised, the Forecasts will be made available on the AIS website.

New CEO of the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) announced

Mark Campbell has been appointed as CEO of the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC), which is represented on the Rail Industry reference Committee. Mr Campbell brings more than 30 years of international experience in both light and heavy industrial fields, such as quarrying, minerals processing, coal mining, concrete manufacturing and logistics, including road, rail and shipping.

Supporting Vietnam''s logistics sector

AIS through our business arm, AIS Global, continues its support for the Logistics Industry Reference Committee (LIRC) in Vietnam, an initiative of the Australian Government's Aus4Skills program. The LIRC is focused on supporting the needs of the Vietnamese logistics sector in having a highly skilled workforce with a pressing focus on supporting the recovery response to COVID-19.

Impacts of COVID-19 on industry and the training system

The AISC and ASQA are collecting information on known and emerging issues and concerns that are affecting the VET sector as a result of COVID-19 through the feedback forms found here. Information provided will inform decision-making in relation to workforce skilling, amendments required to national training products to meet emerging workforce requirements, advice on safeguards for training delivery and other solutions to support the VET sector during the COVID-19 pandemic.

June 2020 Edition

June 2020

CEO UPDATE

The success of Australian businesses, communities, and the national economy, now and into the future, relies on a workforce with world-class skills. Building these skills requires a VET system that is responsive, agile, and forward-thinking. This has been highlighted recently through a range of Government and industry announcements and reports, the latest being the Productivity Commissioner's interim report released last week on the review of the National Agreement for Skills and Workforce Development.

AIS is committed to remaining responsive and innovative to skills development. From logistics and supply chains, to corrections, airport security, battery storage and design, Industry Reference Committees (IRCs) supported by AIS are working to quickly deliver training packages in response to current and arising industry needs.

Working groups to address skills, safety and productivity of the rail industry

Three working groups have been formed to improve the productivity and safety of the rail industry, and address key issues facing the sector, including skills development. The three working groups cover skills and labour, interoperability, and harmonising national standards. The leadership of each group includes government and industry representatives.

Building new skills to grow emerging renewable industries

Emerging renewable industries are driving the need for new technologies, helping Australia compete on the world stage while creating jobs and jumpstarting the economy. AIS is working to support industry sectors to be forward-looking, flexible, and responsive in skills development, as new opportunities and challenges arise.

AIS Global supports diversity in learning and teaching

AIS Global is the business arm of AIS and is undertaking a range of skills and workforce development activities domestically and internationally. One of its current projects is the development of the first-of-its-kind Gender Equality, Diversity and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) strategy for Nguyen Huu Canh College in Ho Chi Minh City.

2020 IRC Skills Forecasts submitted

The 2020 IRC Skills Forecast updates have been submitted to the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) for the Maritime, Rail, Transport & Logistics, Corrections, Electrotechnology, Gas, Water, and ESI Transmission Distribution & Rail industries.

AVI Aviation Training Package

AVIATION SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS NEEDED

The Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) Excluded Category project has commenced and the Aviation Industry Reference Committee (IRC) is forming a Technical Advisory Committee.

Your industry expertise and insight is welcome to help review and develop Training Package materials to address a gap in nationally recognised skills and knowledge for RPA operators in the Excluded Category where a licence is not required to ensure they can fly safely and ethically within the legislative and regulatory requirements.

It is critical that the Aviation IRC rapidly develop endorsed Training Package material for RPA excluded category operation that can be contextualised for delivery for multiple industry sectors in a variety of environments to address the safety concerns associated with increased usage during COVID-19, and importantly, endorsed in time for delivery to emergency service personnel to support fire and emergency aviation tasks during the next bushfire season. Timeframes for consultation and development have been optimised to allow for submission of the Case for Endorsement by the end of 2020.

Please register your interest via the project page, by close of business Friday, 4 September 2020.

The year in review - Training Package development

In 2020, AIS representatives attended 26 industry and education forums including presenting at some of these key events. Many events were reshaped, cancelled or postponed to 2021 due to COVID-19.

Our eleven IRCs, through the support of various TACs and industry stakeholders, have collectively overseen the work of 80 Training Package projects throughout 2020.

The year in review - AIS Global activities

It has been a busy year as we navigated the complexities of delivering our domestic and international projects during COVID-19 restrictions. We undertook innovative approaches for our work which was particularly evident in a series of webinars we delivered to Vietnam-based industry, training college and government leaders about the important role of industry intelligence in the skills pipeline.

September 2020 Edition

September 2020

CEO UPDATE

As a leading, independent advisor within the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector, we are passionate about ensuring qualifications are relevant and that industry can trust they meet the needs of a dynamic, changing workforce.

This work is led by Industry Reference Committees (IRCs), with 11 of those IRCs supported by AIS. Over the last five weeks all 11 IRCs have held meetings to prioritise future skill needs of their industry sectors and discuss possible Training Package development activity. AIS Chief Operating Officer, Paul Walsh, and I presented each IRC with an overview on VET reform, our research into digital skills, the work of the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) emergency sub-committee, as well as progress of projects underway or scheduled to commence.

Supply Chain Skills to tackle some of our biggest challenges

Building the circular economy and combatting modern slavery are just some of the world's most pressing challenges that 10 new cross sector supply chain Skill Sets will now help tackle. Traceability, blockchain, digital supply chains and ethical practice are just some of the skills in-demand that are now captured in the Skill Sets.

Digital Transformation Expert Panel

Digital technologies are rapidly transforming whole industries, job roles and individual tasks. With the global pandemic only serving to accelerate these trends, how we work, when we work and where we work are all being disrupted. Developed economies are all facing the same challenge - with every step forward enabled by technology, they risk leaving behind those workers without the requisite skills to engage in our digital future.

Building skills for the Gas industry

The AISC has approved several projects to develop skills standards in the gas industry. Led by the Gas Industry Reference Committee (IRC) which is supported by AIS, the Hydrogen Technology Project will involve the review and development of up to three Skill Sets and 16 Units of Competency relating to the skills needs of gas technicians in handling hydrogen gas. Australia's target to reduce emissions to net zero by 2050 will see the energy sector collectively facing significant challenges to achieve this target.

Skilling the Maritime industry - new Training Package revision and development projects

The Maritime IRC, with the support of AIS, will commence two new projects recently approved by the AISC to address priority skills needs in dredging and linesperson operations.

Survey about employer readiness to employ an apprentice or trainee

What do employers need to know about apprenticeships, but don''t? When taking on a new apprentice, are employers fully aware of processes, procedures and legal requirements of both them and the apprentice?

AVIATION TRAINING PACKAGE

The Case for Endorsement and draft Training Package materials for the Aviation Industry Skills project have been submitted to the Australian Industry and Skills Committee for their consideration.

View Case for Endorsement

The Aviation IRC proposed to update the Certificate IV in Aviation (Aviation Supervision) and seven Units of Competency to meet updated regulatory and new skills requirements, to support supervisory operational roles in the Aviation industry.

Throughout the project the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), comprising a diverse range of highly experienced aviation professionals, considered current and emerging industry requirements to review and develop the products.

The Certificate IV in Aviation (Aviation Supervision) was formerly a core and general elective model and catered very broadly to aviation supervision. During the review, an adjustment was made to the core of the qualification, in addition to the design of three specialist groups adding greater recognition of the key operational roles.

Certificate IV in Aviation (Aviation Supervision-Aerodromes)
Certificate IV in Aviation (Aviation Supervision-Cabin Crew)
Certificate IV in Aviation (Aviation Supervision-Ground Operations)

The TAC considered feedback received through its consultation to update technical, cultural, teamwork and communications aspects in the Units of Competency.

AIS would like to thank everyone involved in this project to support current and future skills in aviation supervision roles.

For more information, please contact the Acting Industry Manager.

The materials are applicable to supervisors who operate in a broad range of ground operations and service roles at aerodromes. The Certificate IV Aviation (Aviation Supervision) and associated Units of Competency have been revised to address updated regulatory and new skills requirements arising from advances in aviation technology.

The TAC has drafted a new design of the Cert IV to include three specialisation qualification streams:

Certificate IV in Aviation (Aviation Supervision-Aerodromes)
Certificate IV in Aviation (Aviation Supervision-Cabin Crew)
Certificate IV in Aviation (Aviation Supervision-Ground Operations)

VIEW DRAFTS AND SUBMIT FEEDBACK

Please submit your feedback by close of business Thursday, 28 May 2020.

For more information on this project, please contact the Industry Manager.

Training Package endorsements

Skills Ministers have endorsed the latest releases of the Maritime, Transport and Logistics (Rail), Defence and Electrotechnology Training Packages.? Qualifications contained in these packages have been reviewed and developed to align to changing work practices, new technologies and regulatory requirements.

Supporting the work of RTOs

AIS is proud to develop Training Packages on behalf of 11 key industries and we acknowledge that Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) are the front line of the VET system as providers and assessors of nationally recognised training and qualifications. Employers rely on RTOs to provide essential skills and knowledge to both new entrants and existing workers.

Supply Chains are the new black

The bushfires that ravaged so many parts of Australia last summer brought into sharp focus how integral supply chains are to our lives. The crisis caused highway closures, production stoppages, power outages, flight cancellations and delays, revealing what we normally take for granted: an invisible and seamless network of planning, coordination and delivery.

''Your Career'' website launched

The National Careers Institute has launched 'Your Career', its new one-stop career information website. ?
The site contains a wide range of information to help people of all ages plan, navigate and manage their careers.

July 2020

CEO UPDATE

Industry intelligence, data analytics and research are today more important than ever. Real-time evidence supports the tools to help decision-makers, businesses and employees to focus on the skills needed now, and as businesses and the economy recover from COVID-19.

The National Skills Commission, which formally commenced on 1 July, has released its first publication, A snapshot in time: Australia's Labour Market and COVID-19. The report explores matching skills and jobs post the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that as Australia starts to recover from the effects of the pandemic, there will be challenges and difficult times ahead. But there will also be opportunities. We can hasten recovery by understanding where jobs are growing and ensuring our workforce has the necessary skills for those jobs.

Rebuilding through infrastructure - skilling the Rail industry

With the federal and state governments investing billions of dollars in rail infrastructure there is an immediate need to incorporate the new technology and automation into the industry. AIS is working with the Rail Industry Reference Committee on a range of new projects to address priority skills needs brought about by automation and expanded infrastructure.

Driving simulators building skills in the Defence industry

Australian Industry Standards is working with the Public Safety IRC to develop skills standards to meet the current and future capability needs of the Defence industry for simulator maintenance engineers. Current advanced simulators can be reconfigured to train industry and defence personnel in a range of aircraft and ground-based vehicle operation.

Skilling the Correctional Services workforce to help vulnerable offenders

The Corrections work environment is transitioning towards a more rehabilitative model, with greater emphasis placed on offenders' mental and physical health. AIS is supporting the Corrections Industry Reference Committee (IRC) to respond, which will see the development of new skills standards for working with trauma-affected and cognitively impaired offenders.

Australian Training Awards - 2020 applications extended

Applications for the Australian Training Awards, scheduled to be held in Melbourne on 20 November, have been extended to 19 July 2020.

The awards are the peak, national awards for the vocational education and training (VET) sector, recognising individuals, businesses and Registered Training Organisations for their contribution to skilling Australia.
