Frequently Asked Questions - Importing Units of Competency in Training Packages |
|
The National Quality Council (NQC) encourages Training Package developers to use relevant units of competency from other endorsed Training Packages in qualifications. This leads to portability of skills for individuals across a range of work and industries, and supports effective use of national training resources and efficient training delivery.

Employability Skills Summary
A set of free resources on employability skills is now available to the VET sector at the following temporary website: www.employabilityskillsresources.com
The resources will be moved to http://training.com.au in the near future.
They were designed for widespread distribution across, and use within, VET.
The resources include:
-
six professional development resources
-
three pamphlets, one for learners, one for employers and one for RTOs
-
nine articles with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation.
These resources are products of a project conducted by the National Quality Council from late 2006 – early 2008 on employability skills. The project involved the development and piloting of an approach for assessing and reporting on employability skills in Training Packages and the development of a professional development strategy and associated resources for implementing that approach. The project also involved the development and initiation of a communication strategy, which resulted in the development of the articles and pamphlets.
