Victoria Supply Chain Consultative Group
An industry government partnership supported by the Department of Industry, Innovation & Regional Development and the Department of Education this forum provides a range of opportunities to promote and implement training within the T&L industry. From establishing industry networks in regional Victoria (Wodonga, Mildura and the La Trobe Valley) to the development of a new industry action plan this group brings together a diverse group of industry stakeholders.
Careers Strategy
As the project manager, TDT Victoria was responsible for the development of a “Career Kit” which showcased a range of training and development activities within T&L across Victoria. The kit contained eight examples of programs, products and research activities that demonstrated best practice in training and development within the T&L industry.
E-Learning
Fatigue management continues to be a significant issue for the road freight sector and one that has become the focus of new regulatory regimes. In an attempt to utilise current technology as part of a management strategy to tackle this issue, TDT Victoria worked in collaboration with TOLL SPD to develop an E-Learning model to provide underpinning knowledge and self paced assessment for employees who needed to become familiar with this subject.
Maritime WELL Project
Continuing on from the WELL project which resulted in assessment materials being developed in 2005/06 TDT Victoria secured additional funding to extend the trial of these products. These trials will seek to include RTOs in both Victoria and Queensland.
Charter and Ferry Operator Crew Training
In response to a request from Marine Safety Victoria, local operators and the Maritime Union of Australia, TDT Victoria has been working with these stakeholders to develop a training regime for deck hands working on these vessels. While the initial program may not reflect full competencies the training program will be predicated on material within the national training package.
Business Activity Harmonisation Study (BAHS)
Having successfully developed a model interactive learning resource, TDT Victoria was commissioned to develop a full web based resource that covered all aspects of the import/export process through the Port of Melbourne.
Careers Day
Careers Day continues to evolve as an event that seeks to inform those responsible for providing career advice in schools. This year’s event was conducted in conjunction with the Supply Chain Summit, an initiative of the Industry Round Table.
