Skills Impact held a Skills Service Organisation (SSO) role between 2016 and 2022. In 2023 we established one of ten Job and Skills Councils (JSCs), after a submission to move into the role was backed by over 200 letters of support from a broad range of industry stakeholders. This new JSC, Skills Insight, has a broader scope to deliver outcomes that support a responsive VET system and a skilled and resilient national workforce. The industry coverage of Skills Insight is similar to our past coverage as a Skills Service Organisation.
Questions about the ways individuals develop competency often come up as we work with training providers and industry.
The feedback we have received is that the vocational education and training (VET) system works with a definition of competency that is very difficult to achieve without workplace-based practice over a significant period.
The system definition of competency, as used by ASQA is ‘the consistent application of knowledge and skill to the standard of performance required in the workplace’. It embodies the ability to transfer and apply skills and knowledge to new situations and environments.
There is an expectation that people with a VET qualification should be workplace competent, but most VET courses do not involve workplace practice in real life conditions prior to assessment.
Research to date, demonstrates that competency is developed in stages, over time, with training inputs only part of the learning process. The Dreyfus and Dreyfus model of skills acquisition, which suggests that expertise develops through stages – and is not something that someone either has or does not have, has been a key tool for exploration.
