Verve Happenings
Verve and Service Skills are seeking Industry input for validation of the Sports and Recreation Training Package
Just a reminder that Service Skills in conjunction with Verve are holding the next workshop on Friday 8 August for RTO’s as a means of engaging industry in the validation of the Training Packages (Sport (SRS03), Outdoor Recreation (SRO03), Community Recreation (SRC04) and Fitness (SRF04) to ensure that training meets industry needs and is widely recognised as a pathway to careers in sports and recreation.
Service Skills Australia is currently reviewing the qualifications and competency standards that underpin the national Vocational Education and Training (VET) system. This will determine the standard of the future skills and knowledge required for the sport, fitness and recreation workforce.
This review will impact on services and outcomes provided by the VET system including training courses delivered through TAFE and private training organisations, Australian Apprenticeships and licensing, registration and/or accreditation requirements.
Service Skills Australia is conducting forums in all capital cities for industry representatives to provide input into future skills requirements of your workforce. Verve is facilitating the Victorian workshops.
The workshops will cover:
- Skills development and workforce participation in the sport, fitness and recreation industries
- Training that reflects industries expectations and standards
- Quality outcomes from training providers
- Impact of this review on licensing, registration and/or accreditation requirements
