(1) The Department of Training and Workforce Development will investigate models of alternative training delivery methods to the traditional apprenticeship that confer workplace competence in achieving trade outcomes.
(2) The Department will seek input from the State Training Board's Responsive Trade Training Working Group and Industry Training Councils in identifying suitable models for piloting. The models will be identified from the spectrum of training delivery models.
(3) To date one model, the "Advanced Pre-Apprenticeship", has been identified for piloting in four trade areas. The work of the Department is ongoing and more models may be identified in the future.
(4) The Perth metropolitan area and the Mid West.
(5) In its design, implementation and evaluation, the pilot program will limit student numbers to approximately 15 students for each trade area; involve students who have not previously and are not currently enrolled as pre-apprentice students and will target mature-aged students and diversity groups. Training providers will be selected on the basis of proven history of high quality delivery of trade training for the identified trade areas.
(6) The first pilot is anticipated to commence from semester two 2011 with a three year nominal duration.
(7) Standard delivery costs for apprenticeship delivery will apply.
(8) $400,000 from the existing Department of Training and Workforce Development budget.
