Group Training |
||||||||
|
|

|
MITA provides a broad range of services to the
automotive industry. Group Training is uniquely Australian and
has been described as one of "Australia's Best Kept Secrets" in a
report by a Parliamentary Select Committee. The Automotive Industry was one of the first
industries to form a group Training Scheme in the early 1980's. The concept is simple, its acceptance
widespread. Group Training functions in the following
manner: Apprentices and trainees are |
indentured to an Incorporated Group
Employment company (or scheme) rather than individual employers. The labour
of the apprentices and trainees is hired or sub-contracted out to particular
"host" employers working in the required trade or occupation that
the training agreement specifies. The Group Scheme retains all the rights and
responsibilities of an employer over the apprentices and trainees. Through the planned rotation of the
apprentices with various employers provides exposure to a wider variety of
skills. |
Host Employer placement and training
progress is structured and monitored to ensure all apprentices or trainees
receive instruction in accordance with the accredited training program. This concept combined with the National
Competency Standards and Assessment methods affords the greatest opportunity for
all the required competencies to be achieved within the training period. The monitoring of training is an ongoing
process and as such the potential for enhancing the standards of industry
skilling is immense. |
