Rationalisation of SkillsDMC Training Packages
Client
SkillsDMC Industry Skills Council
Description
Precision Consultancy was one of a team of consultants who worked on the rationalisation of the six training Packages overseen by SkillsDMC, including:
- MNC04 Coal Mining Training Package
- MNM05 Metalliferous Mining Training Package
- MNQ03 Extractive Industries Training Package
- DRT03 Drilling Training Package
- BCC03 Civil Construction Training Package
- RII06 Civil Construction Training Package.
The rationalisation and consolidation process was carried out to improve efficiencies by identifying areas of overlap and duplication to better meet the needs of the five industry sectors. The process involved:
- substantial industry consultation to ensure engagement and leadership
- capturing advice from the full range of industry and VET stakeholders
- ensuring the integrity of the industry sector requirements were maintained
- maximising cross-industry commonalities
- minimising duplication and inconsistencies between sectors
- developing additional qualifications to incorporate skill and sectoral gaps within the previous training packages
- providing pre-vocational pathways.
The new RII09 Resources and Infrastructure Industry Training Package was endorsed in July 2009. It includes 739 RII units of competency and 64 qualifications.
