Development of a Collaborative Interface for the Delivery of Emergency Management Vocational Education
Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Darwin, Hobart
With the emergence of a broad and diverse training market, the Department is exploring the opportunity to establish a collaborative interface between the Institute and the Education Sector, allowing the Department to set strategy and the Sector to deliver its current units of delivery and education and training more broadly and dynamically. This may result in the provision of directing support to underwrite or reduce the direct cost of target groups accessing training in specified fields by nominated providers. The Department is particularly interested in making more material accessible on-line and it is also willing to support attempts at multi-sector and multi-state engagement to encourage improvements in communications and interoperability.
