3 Apr 2012Forestworks ISC Fireside Chat “Creating critical mass for training in the workplace
Forestworks ISC “Creating critical mass for training in the workplace”
Over the last three years we have been working with the Frame and Truss Manufactures Association (FTMA) and other industry parties. This is an industry sector that had very generic qualifications, so FTMA, ForestWorks and other parties went through a rigorous process to identify the industry need and produce a sweet of qualifications. It has now reached the stage of delivering the training, as the plants are relevantly small, and located a fair distance apart (to ensure a market for their product) providing a viable group number to be trained off the job does not happen. Also though a builder/carpenter may do framing this training is in the manufacture of roof trusses which is a different skill set. Finding a building Department in a TAFE/RTO interested in venturing into a workplace training setting in a slightly different vocational area did not happen (Again the student numbers are low). What is happening is some of our more nimble RTOs have embraced this challenge and are making it work. This is the fireside conversation in which VISTA members can participate.
