Priority issues for workforce development Sample Clauses

Priority issues for workforce development. During the development of our Stages 1 and 2 reports, the following have been identified as key issues for the workforce. These will be further explored in our Stage 3 work. • Literacy, numeracy and communication skills need to be developed in order to support the vision of a world class workforce and improve outcomes for children and young people. • The number and range of qualifications on offer to the workforce is too high and confusing for employers. • Qualifications are the main barrier to career progression and mobility between occupations within the children’s workforce. • There is a need to ensure that all future qualifications are developed around the requirements of the Common Core of Skills and Knowledge. • Funding for training and development needs to be rationalised, simplified, and clarified to maximise investment. • There is a sector wide need for ICT skills to respond to new ways of working, e- learning opportunities and service user expectations. • Good leadership and management skills are essential for the development and modernisation of the sector. • The sector is perceived to have low professional esteem and remuneration which impacts on recruitment and retention. This needs to be addressed and the public perception of the sector raised. • Delivery of training provision requires greater flexibility and innovative solutions to meet employer needs, particularly in terms of time, location, duration and delivery mode. • A wide range of non-accredited learning is undertaken but does not facilitate transferability. Non-accredited learning is often valued highly, and its status needs to be addressed. • Accurate and consistent workforce intelligence, particularly at regional level, is often lacking. • Apprenticeship achievement rates for the CCLD Framework are the lowest of any sector.

  • Workforce Development MPC’s technical training program is having a major impact in the region. Online modules, short courses, webinars, and on site/videoconferencing events are reaching state and local transportation department employees and tribal transportation planners. By harnessing the capabilities of the four LTAP centers located at the MPC universities and the multimedia capabilities of the Transportation Learning Network (which was founded and is partly funded by MPC) more than 76 technical training events were offered in the second half of 2015. These training modules and short courses are critical to transportation agencies that need to improve or renew the skills of engineering technicians and other frontline workers. Many MPC courses or training events result in the certification of workers. Even when certification is not required, TLN’s online learning management systems allow employees and employers to set learning goals and monitor progress towards these goals. MPC is making another major impact in workforce development. Altogether, 57 graduate students are working on MPC research projects under the tutelage of faculty researchers. These graduate students represent the researchers and technical analysts of tomorrow. Without the MPC program and the stipend funds that it provides, these students may not be specializing in transportation; but, instead would be seeking career opportunities in other fields. The MPC research program allows faculty to mentor graduate students while allowing the students to work on projects for federal and state transportation agencies—thereby, gaining valuable practical experience.
