OCD HR Initiative

Contemporary HR Practice Initiative

The VET Development Centre (VDC) has developed a series of HR initiatives to expand and review current technical knowledge and explore new ways in Human Resources practice and management.

These 5 one day sessions will provide the opportunity to gain new insights from participating TAFE institutes into contemporary practices and share experiences regarding current and ways of working.

The one-day sessions will provide an opportunity for TAFE Institutes to expand and review their technical knowledge and explore new concepts and theories.

In conjunction with these sessions, the initiative will also encompass the following:

Webinars

One hour online session with the HR Consultant after each Session to summarise the content covered and respond to any outstanding questions.

Transfer and Apply Learning Sessions

Following each Session, the Peer Learning Groups will finalise an Action Plan, submit to VDC for review and then seek final endorsement from the TAFE Institute’s Senior Management.

Workplace Reviews

The reviews will be tailored and delivered in house by the HR Consultant to support Institute Peer Learning Groups with the implementation of new practice and review the progress of the Action Plans.

Action Learning Day

Institute Peer Learning Groups will be invited to attend an Action Learning day. This day will focus on shared learning across Institutes and the formation of a Community of Practice.

Benefits and Outcomes

On completion of this initiative, TAFEs will have the ability to strengthen the following areas:

  • Workforce development
  • General efficiency and effectiveness in HR practice
  • Financial resilience

 Who should attend?

HR management and staff, heads of schools or faculties, program managers or supervisors.
