The Board provides funding assistance for training ranging from safety induction to diploma courses through to specific courses such as asbestos related training. TBCITB Training Plan 2015-2016 2

Statement of Funding and Allocation from the Training Fund The Board recommends the 2015-2016 Training Plan to the Minister for approval and in doing so is satisfied that funding is available from the Building and Construction Industry Training Fund established under Section 36 of the Tasmanian Building and Construction Industry Training Fund Act to meet the cost of the Training Plan including future commitments arising from this and previous Training Plans. The Board is empowered to control and administer the Fund in accordance with Section 8 of the Act. For 2015-2016, $2,190,000 has been allocated from within the Board s overall budget for the implementation of the Training Plan. The Board s target for 2015-2016 is to provide training for approximately 7,550 people in a number of priority areas identified in consultation with industry. This compares with the Board s target of $2,196,000 for training 7,800 industry members in 2014-2015. The Board s Annual Report 2014-2015 provides details of the Board s achievements against its strategic objectives as well as the Audit and Financial Reports. The Board is confident this level of funding will substantially meet the training priorities identified by industry for 2015-2016. The Board will maintain this level of funding by utilising reserves earmarked for the building and construction employment and training programs. The Board will collaborate with other organisations where necessary to address these priorities. Dated the 11th May 2015.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In its Training Plan for 2015-2016, the Board has allocated $2,190,000 for the training of some 7,550 eligible industry members. The Training Plan allocation for 2015-2016 covers the following training priorities: Upskilling and Multiskilling Program ($500,000). Occupational Health and Safety Training Program ($450,000). Industry Innovation and Information Technology Training Program ($120,000). Business Skills Training Program ($120,000). Vocational and Tertiary Training Program ($1,000,000). For 2015-2016, the Board will provide funding assistance for training associated with major projects including the Royal Hobart Hospital Redevelopment from across the five program allocations. The training and skill needs as well as the potential for apprentice employment of this major project will be monitored. Through this Training Plan, the Board seeks to create an environment where industry actively participates in and fully appreciates the benefits of training. The Board is committed to producing a more productive, safe, employable, adaptable and innovative workforce. The Board will collaborate with other organisations where necessary to address the training priorities identified by industry practitioners. The Training Plan is designed to ensure funding can be made available to meet emerging training requirements identified by employers during the year. The Board accepts it is not possible to always accurately predict these individual needs more than 12 months in advance of the training. In addition, the Plan will support the building and construction industry as it faces identified skill demands and retention challenges. Apprenticeship training continues to be the main priority for the Board. The Board s initiatives will include specific programs that provide incentives to employers taking on apprentices, e.g. Completion Bonus and Upskilling. The Board will be closely monitoring apprentice numbers into 2016 to assess the need for further intervention. There is overwhelming support from the industry for the Board s demand-driven funding approach. This approach is consistent with the policy direction adopted by the State and Federal Governments for training entitlements and outcome based funding. The Board continues to build on and maintain the number and range of courses as well as the level of industry participation in training as shown by the following graphs.

1. LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENT 1.1 Training Plan Section 34 of the Building and Construction Industry Training Fund Act 1990 provides that the Board shall prepare a building and construction industry Training Plan for each financial year. The Training Plan shall: a) Set out priorities for employment related training to be funded from the Fund. (b) Provide for the allocation of money from the Fund for the provision of training. 1.2 Approval of Training Under Section 7 of the Act, the Board is required to ensure all training provided is in respect of skills formation approved by the Board. In complying with Section 34 (3) of the Act, it is confirmed all training proposed in the plan has been or will be approved by the Board. TBCITB Training Plan 2015-2016 6

2. DETERMINATION OF INDUSTRY TRAINING PRIORITIES To identify the training priorities of the building and construction industry, the Board uses the communication and planning process in Appendix 1. In developing this plan, the Board has taken into account the findings of the following research projects and independent reports: Mentoring for Building and Construction Apprentices (2011) Heritage Skills (May 2012). Women in Building and Construction (July 2012). Building Information Modelling (2012). State of the Industry Report (2015). The Board also included the outcomes of its regional industry workshops (May 2014) and public meeting (October 2014) in this Plan. All industry associations and Worksafe Tasmania were formally invited to provide input regarding their training priorities to this Training Plan. In keeping with its Memorandum of Understanding, the Board formally invited Skills Tasmania to provide its input into the development of the Training Plan in accordance with Sections (34) and (36) of the Building and Construction Industry Training Fund Act 1990. From those activities, the Board has identified the following training priorities: Maintenance of apprenticeships and retention of workers. The multi-skilled nature of entry-level training in Tasmania provides the industry with a competitive advantage. However, it also means that strategies need to be put in place to deal with competition from other states and territories for workers. Entry level training relevant to needs of businesses including cadetships. Mature age apprenticeships. Upskilling and national recognition. Occupational health and safety training. Innovation and new technology. Business and management skills. Updates including trade nights. Higher qualifications. Environmentally appropriate building and construction methods. The Board noted that the Tasmanian Government s Skills Strategy, Investing in Skills for growth will focus on the following areas: A more efficient and competitive training system. A greater focus on delivering real skills for real jobs. Investing in skills that drive Sate growth. The Board will continue its collaboration with Skills Tasmania on building and construction industry training issues. TBCITB Training Plan 2015-2016 7

The Board also notes Skills Tasmania s industry policy covers training clients to be better informed about the training system, resources to be applied according to informed priorities, and quality in all aspects of the training system. The Board sees this Training Plan as consistent with the Tasmanian Government s Skills Strategy. This plan will enable training to be delivered to meet emerging priorities. The Training Plan deals with these matters from the viewpoint of industry members and in accordance with the Building and Construction Industry Training Fund Act. It is important that the training priorities of industry members are addressed in any overall State Government Skills Strategy and industry policy. The Board will continue to work with Skills Tasmania and to provide strategic advice to the Department and the Minister on: Investing in Skills for Growth. Ministerial Priorities for Training and Workforce Development. Specific building and construction industry training issues. The Board jointly organised the Building and Construction Innovation Award in 2013. It would also be keen to explore the following opportunities: Possible collaborative training projects arising from the Construction Innovation Summit, May 2010, e.g. based around Building Information Modelling technology and philosophy. It is important to ensure that the building and construction industry has the reputation and profile in the context of the Tasmanian brand to offer workers careers of their choice. Coordination among industry stakeholders as well as the quality and level of information flow are important. Positioning of the industry is directly related to skills demand and forecasting including planning for downturns. Board interaction with the relevant government agencies on industry issues will be critical to that process. The multi-skilled nature of entry level training in Tasmania provides the industry with a competitive advantage. However, it also means that strategies need to be put in place to deal with competition from other states and territories for workers. Where appropriate and relevant, the Board will assist with the Tasmanian Government s plans for infrastructure development, innovation TBCITB Training Plan 2015-2016 8

3. TRAINING PRIORITIES The Board has identified the following industry priorities for 2015-2016. The plan has been specifically designed to ensure priorities for training and workforce development identified by industry can be accommodated within the five program areas. Given the diverse nature of the industry, including a very large number of small businesses located throughout the entire state, it is not practicable to specifically prioritise individual training needs. The Board s training demand driven model as detailed in this plan suits the needs of both small and large building and construction enterprises. The flexibility in the Board s Training Plan has proven effective in meeting those industry needs. All subjects from heritage skills through to Building Information Modelling and all defined industry members including industry members from equity groups are covered by this plan through the five program areas. For example, the Board has provided funding to defined industry members for training to meet the requirements of the work health and safety law that commenced in Tasmania on 1 January 2013.

TBCITB Training Plan 2015-2016 15

4. FUNDING OF TRAINING PRIORITIES The following objectives will guide the Board in allocating funding for the training priorities identified by industry: Ensure training is provided to meet identified industry needs. Where these needs require a response apart from training, the Board shall assist in implementing appropriate initiatives. Ensure the Board adopts a responsive and flexible approach to funding training using a demand driven system. Improve participation in training by ensuring courses are offered during wide ranging hours, in alternative locations and through flexible delivery methods including information technology where necessary and appropriate. Increase training opportunities for specific target groups. Ensure training is cost-effective and meets the Board s Training Policy and Funding Procedures. Improve the quality of training programs by having regard to national training reforms, industry standards, accreditation, qualifications of training providers, course evaluations, industry comments and program evaluations. Facilitate training through the recognition of current competency. Provide funding for refresher and reaccreditation courses. Minimise internal training costs associated with company specific training. Ensure funding is provided on an equitable basis. Provide funding levels to encourage employers to participate in training programs for their employees. At the regional workshops, industry practitioners indicated to the Board that their priorities would be: 1. Apprenticeship and training leading to a formal qualification. 2. Practical training that has an assessment. 3. Trade nights higher priority than conferences. 4. Refresher and re-accreditation training. 5. Awareness training how to run and better manage your business, how to survive in tough times. The Board is continuing special funding for equity groups and heritage pilot training programs. Sustainability is also an emerging area of training need. Areas of lower priority were: Fast tracking, concentrated training is least important. Conferences low priority. Training and short courses with no assessment lowest priority. TBCITB Training Plan 2015-2016 16

5. ELIGIBILITY FOR FUNDING Priority for attendance at training programs funded by the Board from the training levy must be given to persons defined as follows: Employed, directly or indirectly, in work regarded as building or construction as defined in Schedule 2 of the Building and Construction Industry Training Fund Act 1990. This includes building surveyors directly involved in the approval process for on-site construction work. Indirectly means people in other occupations can also attend training on this basis providing the firm they work for is at least 90 per cent involved in completing on site building and construction work as defined in Schedule 2. People working in joinery operations are also eligible, providing building and construction training packages or courses are used in those operations. It must be noted that the definition of building and construction work has not been changed as it relates to the requirements of the Building and Construction Industry Training Fund Act itself. The Act is silent about eligibility for training funding and the Board has determined that priority must be given to people working for enterprises that are at least 90 per cent involved in on site building and construction work as defined in the Act. ALL people working for those enterprises are eligible, including people not directly involved in building and construction work as defined, e.g. office workers, safety workers, building designers, etc. People working for enterprises not meeting this definition may also be eligible, although funding is more restricted and often limited to those directly involved in building and construction work e.g. carpenters, bricklayers, etc. People not directly involved may also be assisted at the discretion of the Board. Based on the CPD for Building and Construction Professionals Report, the Board approved building surveyors access to funding for training programs in accordance with the Board s Training Plan and Procedures, effective from August 2010. Building surveyors costs are included when calculating the levy on building and construction work. All enterprises apply for funding in exactly the same way in accordance with the Board s Training Policy and Funding Procedures. The procedures are available on request as well as on the Board s website. TBCITB Training Plan 2015-2016 17

6. IMPROVEMENT OF SKILLS AND THE DEGREE OF VALUE OF TRAINING The Board s Training Policy and Funding Procedures include the following: Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) will meet the requirements of the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) as appropriate. The ASQA ensures that people can have confidence in the credibility and integrity of qualifications issued in Tasmania. It is responsible for the regulation of education and training providers and qualifications in the senior secondary, vocational and higher education sectors. It monitors and promotes quality assessment and certification across post-compulsory education. Training for new entrants will conform with national industry competency standards. Training will lead to national recognition by the industry of the qualification or credit towards approved training pathways. In determining training priorities, the Board will have regard to expenditure on nationally accredited programs. All applications should indicate who the provider of the training is and state the qualifications of trainers. Verification of the qualifications of training providers may be required by the Board. The vast majority of training funded by the Board is delivered by RTOs and trainers licensed by the Tasmanian Government. In many cases, RTOs work with the appropriate industry associations to provide the training. Other courses such as the Building Degree Program are managed through the training providers that are accredited through Acts of Parliament and/or appropriate industry bodies. That Program is delivered by the University of Newcastle which has been ranked within the top ten universities in Australia. With courses under contracts of training, the Board works with Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (AASN). The AASN is contracted by the Australian Government to provide assistance to employers, apprentices and RTOs during the duration of the apprenticeship. They also work with State and Territory Training Authorities, Job Network providers and Group Training Organisations. The Construction Training Package has been endorsed by the National Quality Council, a Committee of the Ministerial Council for Vocational and Technical Education that oversees quality assurance and ensures national consistency in the application of the Australian Quality Training Framework standards for the audit and registration of training providers. Skills Tasmania is represented on this Council. The Board has not endorsed the Training Package and has not changed its position. TBCITB Training Plan 2015-2016 18

The Board is keenly watching and participating in the rewrite of this package, currently the Carpentry qualifications, and is pushing for a more flexible approach that meets the needs of Tasmanian tradespeople and employers. The Board has been using the international model for evaluating the effectiveness of training, known as the Kirkpatrick model. This process is as follows: Level 1. Reaction evaluation. This process is how well participants like the particular program. Level 2. Learning evaluation This process deals with the facts and techniques that were understood and absorbed by participants. Level 3. Transfer-of-Learning evaluation This specifically attempts to assess the transfer of training skills or knowledge to the job. Employer input plays a key role in this process for the Board. Level 4. Results evaluation This is the evaluation process for the Board to evaluate the overall impact on the industry and measure its objectives and training priorities against: Training delivered. Examination of course evaluations. On site visits. Industry forums. Accredited training courses and providers. Credentials. Statistics. Expenditure on training. Identification of need for additional training. TBCITB Training Plan 2015-2016 19

The Board has an Industry Advisory and Consultative Policy to identify the following: Current and emerging workforce development planning needs. Training and research priorities. Collaborative projects and growth opportunities. The Board also uses the following strategies to ensure the industry achieves quality training outcomes: Formal consultation process with industry stakeholders and customers. Targeting programs to provide specific outcomes with conditions to be achieved, before funding support is provided. Specific reporting requirements to each meeting of the Board against training targets and budget considerations. Internal and external research programs to measure the effectiveness of the Board s programs against specific objectives established by the Board. Employer and student feedback on the Board s Training Programs. The Board is conscious of the major technologydriven change facing the industry known as Building Information Modelling (BIM). The Board is working with partners to establish BIMHub, a local think tank to drive awareness and identify knowledge and training needs. The Board continually promotes the benefits of training to industry through its publications and website. The website provides guidance for employers when they are considering training for their employees. Course outlines and curricula are required to be submitted with the applications for training funding to help ensure quality training is approved. Enterprises in the building and construction industry are encouraged to use the Board s online list of courses when selecting training and training providers for their employees. These courses are recommended on the basis of satisfactory evaluations completed by industry practitioners attending the courses in the last eighteen months. The list can be provided on request and is available on the Board s website. At the Board s regional industry practitioners workshops and public meeting, there was strong support from participants for the Board and its activities. TBCITB Training Plan 2015-2016 20

To ensure improvements in the quality of training provided to the building and construction industry, the Board, where necessary, will monitor and report on the following quality guidelines: That the cost of training continues to be cost effective in accordance with Board policy. That satisfaction with Board funded training continues to be high. That industry training priorities are based on reliable and quality research. That individual negotiated training plans are implemented more widely including more rigorous delivery of on the job training and assessment. That completion rates remain high. That the Board s training quality requirements are incorporated in relevant government training contracts. That training contracts include conditions on training providers to ensure the needs of industry clients are met. That training advice and recommendations to Governments are implemented. That industry considers continuing professional development programs as relevant to their needs. That training continues to be associated with industry values and performance. That new innovations are introduced to increase industry s competitiveness. Recent research has focused on Mentoring, Heritage Skills, Copreneurs, the business partners of micro business and sole traders and their access to training and the level of preparedness for technology driven change in the industry. The Board is investigating possible reasons for the perception that micro businesses and sole traders are under- represented in the requests for training assistance received by the Board. There is overwhelming support from the industry for the demand driven funding approach preferred by the Board. That approach is consistent with the policy direction adopted by the State and Federal Governments for training entitlements and outcome based funding. TBCITB Training Plan 2015-2016 21
