Communities VET Partnership
What is the project about?
The Communities VET Partnership is a four year project 2005 - 2009 which sits within the Strengthening Non-Government Organisations Project.
It is focussed on supporting Non Government Organisations (NGOs) funded by the Department of Communities (Communities) and Disability Services Qld (DSQ) to partner with TAFE to offer existing workers and volunteers (including members of Committees of Management) recognition of prior learning, gap training, and training for critical skills sets as part of their performance planning.
It is anticipated that up to 1000 people will be able to gain either a qualification, or a critical set of competencies relevant to their work roles.
What is new about this project?
This project focuses on partnerships and is intended to be a vehicle for TAFEs to support local NGOs in their continuous improvement processes to meet and exceed service standards.
This is intended to be achieved by establishing sustaining social partnerships in skills recognition, training and assessment and assisting with documentation for the NGOs' chosen quality management system (e.g. Training Plan).
