Skills Education

The future of work is here - are we prepared?

The future of work is predicted to be significantly disrupted by digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, robots, visualisation and automation (NCVER, 2019).  At the same time, the demand for digital literacy skills in job advertisements has increased by 200% (FYA, 2016).

This has serious implications for all industries, and will require the Australian Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector to provide the skills needed to allow Australia to remain competitive in the global economy. However, this must start with a VET workforce who has the digital capability and experience to not only deliver the technical skills for Industry 4.0, but to also be able to do this using progressive training methodologies which adopt digital technologies to deliver and support training and assessment (TAFE Queensland, 2016).

This hands-on session will take participants on an Appreciative Inquiry journey using a range of easily accessible digital tools to discover how their current trainers' digital literacy compares with others. 

They will then work collaboratively and collectively to dream and design a VET workforce of the future for their organisation using established digital skills frameworks for building capability in the vocational education and training sector. 

Hear from experienced VET leader, and online trainer and assessor, Allison Miller, about:

• Planning your VET workforce's digital skills is important

• Supporting VET trainers as dual professionals

• Using the Australian Workforce Digital Skills Framework (AWDSF)

• Preparing your VET workforce for the future of work

• Building digital capability using digital approaches

Participants will also be provided with A guide to planning your VET workforce's digital skill development.
