Queensland Training Solutions: Closing the Skills Gap through Hands-on Training
Both teachers and employers in Australia face the same problem: students do not yet have access to the practical and unambiguous pathways that lead to employment after school. Queensland Training Solutions helps solve this problem by offering students practical vocational training opportunities in conjunction with their studies to prepare them to enter the workforce. Tactile Learning and others alike are industry focused and bring a great deal of real-world experience to the training young people require to prepare them for the workforce.
The Increasing Importance of Hands-on Training
Traditional pathways of schooling and academia do not suit every student as not every student will succeed in a system where schooling and learning are fully disconnected from a school’s and a society’s practical and productive operations. Queensland Training Solutions addresses this by placement of vocational education and training (VET) in schools so that students can begin to investigate possible career pathways and make real-world decisions rather than hypothetical ones.
The following arise as great benefits:
The ability to gain experience in real-world context of an industry
Increased confidence and engagement of students
The ability to gain real employment and vocational pathways and opportunities
The ability to gain real, self-determined educational, and work-related skills
In response to the needs of the workforce, the educational programs that have been developed ensure that students departing from them have an education that is practical and not solely based on theoretical knowledge.
How Tactile Learning Helps School-Based Training
Tactile Learning is the first company to partner with the schools as they roll out Queensland Training Solutions. Since they opened, Tactile Learning has focused on community-based training, practical learning, personal assistance, and training that aligns with the industry.
Industry-Based Training Delivery
Students are taught by trainers with actual work experience. This prepares students for the realities of the workplace and what is expected of them by an employer.
The training is valuable because of the following:
Use of current industry tools and equipment
Workplace problems to provide solutions
How to progress in a career and the positions available
Assessment is done using industry standards and subjective criteria
Learning is expected to change to active skills.
Learning is more than just theory.
Flexible Pathways for Diverse Learners.
The learning styles of students are different. The training that Tactile Learning offers is designed to fit the school timetable in order to meet the unique needs of the students.
A flexible approach supports:
Integration of both academic studies and vocational training
Better school attendance (retention) and engagement
Students' confidence who are exercising their choice to pursue pathways other than university
Goals are achieved and focused on career outcomes as a result of this approach.
It also provides a base for further training and employment.
