Transition to new arrangements for reporting on employability skills

At its July 2007 meeting the Council endorsed an approach to descriptive reporting on employability skills which involves: learners downloading qualification specific Employability Skills Summaries for Training Package qualifications they have completed from an internet site; and RTOs adding a mandatory sentence providing directions to the site to all qualification testamurs for Training Package qualifications.

The website housing the Employability Skills Summaries for Training Package qualifications has now been established. In order to allow sufficient time for RTOs to modify their qualification testamurs to include the mandatory sentence, at its March 2008 meeting the Council agreed to the following two step process for moving to the new reporting arrangements:

• From 1 July 2008, RTOs will be required to inform all students issued with Training Package qualifications that Employability Skills Summaries for Training Package qualifications can be downloaded from http://employabilityskills.training.com.au ; and

• From 1 January 2009, RTOs will be required to add the following mandatory sentence to all qualification testamurs issued for Training Package qualifications:

A summary of the employability skills developed through this qualification can be downloaded from http://employabilityskills.training.com.au

The AQF Implementation Handbook has been changed to reflect the requirement for RTOs to add the mandatory sentence to Training Package qualification testamurs from 1 January 2009.
