Abstract

The Machinery Partnerships Transition to Work (TTW) project presents a unique opportunity for at-risk and disengaged young people to participate in a new and innovative aptitude-focussed skills development program. Participants will undertake all activities online through a dedicated RET project website www.machinerypartnerships.com.au which includes a link to stage 1 of a competency-based training progam. The Bridging the skills shortage in the Northern Inland - heavy machinery operators project is already producing exciting results. These include traditional aptitude assessment blended with game-based simulation, and introductions to employers resulting in participants being invited to apply for jobs. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, all elements have been adapted for online delivery. This proposal seeks to capitalise on these early outcomes and engage a cohort of TTW candidates (16-18 year olds) in an entry-level skills online development and training initiative, specially designed for this cohort.
