New training pilots (at least it isn’t a strategy)

The feds have announced Skills Organisation Pilot Principles, but don’t panic

It is not another VET re-organisation plan, to join the 37 voc ed reviews over the last 65 years (CMM July 31 2018).

Although you would be forgiven for thinking it is another classic from COAG (that’s the Circumlocution Office for Australian Governments), in fact, the  pilot principles  are, “to support future industry engagement to inform the design and longer-term organisational and governance model for each Skills Organisation pilot.”

So what will the pilots actually do? you ask (oh, go-on). According to the feds, they will trial “end to end training,” from identifying skill needs, to developing qualifications through to training delivery and assessment.

The trial industries are human care, digital tech and mining.
