1) workflow (cross functional roles and responsibilities)
2) Risks (what can go wrong and how to fix it - course versions; mode of delivery; student learning styles/ support needs; etc)
3) Timeline (how long can the student expect to wait for this to happen)
4) Financial implications (how are the funds provisioned for the shared delivery between campuses)
5) transfer from F2F toF2F Campus V's F2F to Digital (or visa versa).  What are differences 
As more students are seeking to have a greater say in how their learning is facilitated and what it looks like, we are seeing an increased number of campus-to-campus transfers.  HT need to manage the process and the learner's expectations and any resulting complaints.  There does not appear to be a clear understanding across TAFENSW about what this process is and workflow responsibilities.  The new Transfer Matrix is good and needs to be disseminated across to all delivery teams.]]> 2023-03-03 00:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/fiona_watts8/lzy94warwj79n2i2/wish/2501858481 Exporting reports from 'my team' in People@TAFE to support having qualified teachers with students (Fiona McCauley) fiona_watts8 https://padlet.com/fiona_watts8/lzy94warwj79n2i2/wish/2501859259 Monitoring High Risk teachers

On 13 December 2022, the Hon Brendan O’Connor MP, the Minister for Skills and Training, announced the outcomes of the Stage One Grant Opportunity and the formation of 10 Jobs and Skills Councils.

These Jobs and Skills Councils (JSCs), formerly known as Industry Clusters, are being established to provide industry with a stronger, more strategic voice in ensuring Australia’s VET sector delivers stronger outcomes for learners and employers.

JSCs will identify skills and workforce needs for their sectors, map career pathways across education sectors, develop VET training products, support collaboration between industry and training providers to improve training and assessment practice and act as a source of intelligence on issues affecting their industries.

To know where we need to improve, we can use the wealth of data on hand, which tells us how learners and courses are going. 
To do this, we're currently pulling various data sources into 'Course Performance Canvases' and trialling them in a few areas, such as commercial cookery, electrotechnology, carpentry, plumbing, automotive, and hairdressing. These canvases will support conversations about continuous improvement between teaching sections, Teacher Engagement Networks and Skills Excellence Networks and support several strategic initiatives underway. 
In building the canvases, we're looking at feedback, completion, and employment outcome measures, as well as keeping an eye on where learners are currently up to in their journey. Attendance and engagement with learning tells us how students are progressing and where we need to support them.

I could not benefit from the previous session as I was still waiting for my access then. Today's session was very helpful for me.

The improved ways in which we manage customer complaints has been approved by both Margot McNeill and Janet Schorer and has been circulated to all the Directors of Customer Stakeholder Relations and Regional Directors and the improved process is due to launch on 29 May 2023.
 
An approach has been planned for stakeholder training with the relevant stakeholders and we are working with corporate comms for all staff communications.  Training sessions are currently underway for staff who manage customer complaints across TAFE NSW.
 
Following the implementation of the staff complaints recently, we are looking at a similar approach with the learning dives for staff who wish to know more information on customer complaints who can voluntarily attend a learning dive.
