Working together: Industry and VET provider training partnerships
The number and variety of industry-provider training partnerships in the vocational education and training (VET) sector has growing considerably. When developing our compliance guidelines, we include: recognising the competitive realities industries face and developing customised and flexible training to meet businesses’ needs; accepting ‘break even’ outcomes may be the best initial result a training provider can expect from a partnership; finding and developing staff who are responsible for the start-up phase of the partnership; evaluating and seeking feedback on the partnership; and, building training staff capabilities.
Benefits of a training partnership with Skills Recognition International Based upon the findings of the research, the following general guidelines emerge for training providers:
Recognise competitive realities businesses face as they try to build training and skills development
Build flexibility and customisation into training
Given the time involved in establishing a larger training partnership, we support the establishment of longer-term partnerships.
Find, develop and onboard staff who have responsibilities for initiating and managing the start-up stages training partnerships
Ensure that senior management becomes committed early to the partnership.
Build a learning environment within the partnership where individuals are encouraged to seek and provide regular feedback and review.
Build staff capability in the many skills which support partnering, particularly communication and entrepreneurial skills.
Assume that, over time, the quality of the relationship developed will prove to be a more important issue to the industry partner than the actual financial cost of the training to them
