3 Economic Development in the Hunter Second largest economy in NSW - we are at the forefront of regional development in the State. Hunter will increase its output by 75% to use around $64.8 billion by How do we capitalise on new and emerging opportunities in both domestic and international markets? 1. Build regional capacity Ability to respond quickly to emerging technologies and trends in the industry disruptive change We MUST have a suitably qualified workforce to do this and in place 2. The current system needs greater support in the pre apprenticeship space with specific skills - now termed essential skills in work readiness, attitude and resilience rather than skills acquisition. Schools are in the box seat to address this need and develop interpersonal skills, communication skills and attitude to work/opportunity for students wishing to undertake SBATS.

4 The Skills Landscape 5 years from now, one/third of skills, (35%) that are considered important in today s workforce, will change. Jobs of tomorrow will require a broad set of transferable skills such as: Creativity Problem solving ability to apply concepts, ideas and problem solve Critical thinking, innovative thinking Knowledge of digital tools Trio of technical, linguistic and mathematical skills (data literacy) Emotional intelligence / social intelligence Resilience Patience

6 Historically School Based Apprenticeships Some past issues are: the participants and their jobs, May not match to the most appropriate applicant, many uninformed & limited choices made, timetabling (suitability), lack of weekend work opportunities employers first experience of an SBAT was often a negative one (so more effort is required to re-vamp SBATS and the front end loading process) Under represented in the VET sector Currently we have School based Traineeships in the Hunter - Predominantly Health and retail School based apprenticeships Predominantly construction industry Page 6

7 How do we increase the participation rates? Development and Implementation of a Best Practice Model Pilot currently being implemented in the Tomago region with Hunter River High School: local kids/local jobs 3 phase model Front end loading Rethink the cohort Group management (support) rather than individual navigation Page 7

8 School Based Apprenticeships Best Practice Model - 3 phases Supervisor workshop to prepare direct reports for placement students Clear career pathway More informed decision making industry involvement Application process Interview Create a group focus Sign up process Induction Day 1 Week 1 Month 1 Maintenance to include Regional coordination of Mentoring programs Supervisor workshops for employer Successful transition into full time apprenticeship beyond yr. 12 Work placement 4 weeks trial Improved Coordination of mentoring services Page 8

9 Front end loading Key to increasing participation rates, we now think more on pre-selection and identifying the most appropriate candidate Front end loading is essential A New South Wales study produced findings, noting that 75% of apprenticeship applicants were judged unsuitable by employers in Employers are still dissatisfied with the lack of suitable applicants. The main reasons for this unsuitability was either the Sbat participant, Apprentice or Trainee participants fell short with the right attitude, possibly their overall presentation, followed by their aptitude/type of work and the level of literacy/numeracy/ communication skills being appropriate or acceptable to continue. We can teach skills, but we can t teach attitude We need the willingness, the desire and commitment to be in the apprenticeship or traineeship, a person who sees real opportunity, values the arrangement and is ultimately curious to learn.
