As pressures are placed on employers to meet the changing requirements of the workforce, Training Providers and VET Practitioners will play a pivotal role - not only in meeting the immediate needs of an organisation, but also in providing guidance and support for future initiatives. The astute VET practitioner will develop a wide range of strategies to accommodate the varying needs of employers in meeting their training, development, cultural and diversity issues. These can be achieved through provision of a variety of innovative services that may address some or all of their needs

Employers will expect the VET Professional to provide:

• In-depth organisational analysis of roles, responsibilities and staffing requirements. This analysis could also identify how differences in age, experience and the range of skills and knowledge available may affect current or future staffing arrangements
• Assistance in the examination of job-design and task breakdowns; and subsequent development of assessment tools that will assist in the determination of skills gaps and resultant training needs
• Identification of career pathways and qualification mapping processes
• Linking of current training materials, Training Package qualifications and employee needs to develop relevant and meaningful training for the workplace
• Development of immediate and specific learning and enrichment resources for a diverse and changing workforce.
• Activities and materials will need to be cost and time effective, results-driven, tailored to the workplace, and designed with both the organisation and the learner in mind
• Diversity training, with an essential focus on ageing and generational issues, empathy and tolerance
