In Australia, workplace practitioners have a vital role in bringing this about. http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/thinkpiece_capability_develo http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/thinkpiece_capability_develo Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:50:09 GMT The principles and practices of sustainability are fast becoming key elements in the development of our future. http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/thinkpiece_newbreed_tafe.htm http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/thinkpiece_newbreed_tafe.htm Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:50:09 GMT The VET marketplace has shifted. Where previously it was about individuals wanting courses and qualifications, it’s no longer that simple. Not so long ago teachers were encouraged towards ‘flexible delivery’. http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/exemplar_different_working.h http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/exemplar_different_working.h Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:50:09 GMT Workplace Practice is not about shifting the classroom off the campus and into the workplace. Indeed, it seems that some modern workplace practitioners are evolving very different forms of practice. http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/thinkpiece_rpl_smith.htm http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/thinkpiece_rpl_smith.htm Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:50:09 GMT The purpose of this article is to encourage practitioners to think beyond the obvious issues around RPL and to challenge practitioners to reflect on and evaluate some of the more fundamental factors surrounding their assessment practice per se and recognition of prior learning (RPL) specifically. http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/exemplar_rpl_workforce.htm http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/exemplar_rpl_workforce.htm Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:50:09 GMT A TAFE NSW Sydney Institute project, which won a Gold TAFE NSW Quality Award in 2005, has been expanded, Institute-wide, as an existing worker traineeship for non-teaching staff. The benefits and the process undertaken are seen from the perspective of a manager, staff member and participants. http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/exemplar_team_approach.htm http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/exemplar_team_approach.htm Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:50:09 GMT Delivering educational services to industry can be quite complex. In the past, the customer came to the campus and the teacher turned up ready for action. It’s not so simple when we reverse the location and the campus goes to the customer. http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/resource_rpl_ready.htm http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/resource_rpl_ready.htm Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:50:09 GMT Creating informed consumers who are ‘recognition ready’ when they go to an RTO is the aim of the new website skillsrecognition.gov.au http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/resource_womens_skills.htm http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/resource_womens_skills.htm Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:50:09 GMT The TAFE NSW Women’s Programs Unit in partnership with the Centre for Learning Innovation has developed a fantastic new interactive, website for teachers and students! http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/thinkpiece_workforce_develop http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/thinkpiece_workforce_develop Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:50:09 GMT The term ‘workforce development’ is prominent in current discussion about the role and future directions of TAFE NSW. What does the term mean? Is it just a new term for ‘the same old same old’, or, on the other hand, does it take us away from TAFE’s traditional role in education and training? http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/research_etis.htm http://www.icvet.tafensw.edu.au/ezine/year_2008/feb/research_etis.htm Tue, 01 Apr 2008 22:50:09 GMT ETIS is the proactive library and information service for staff of the Department of Education and Training.
