The Workforce Training Innovation Fund (WTIF) is a key feature of the Victorian Government’s new approach to training ‘Skills First’ which supports industry and employers address their rapidly evolving workplace skills development needs.I was engaged by the Australian Flooring Industry Alliance (AFIA) to manage a project funded through the WTIF. The goal of the project is to encourage more people into flooring technology apprenticeships through innovative design and delivery.AFIA comprises four industry associations: Australasian Timber Flooring Association; Australian Resilient Flooring Association; Carpet Institute of Australia; Tile and Tilers Association of Australia. My role has seen the establishment of relationships with numerous stakeholders, including Job Agencies, Local Learning and Employment Networks and many Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning departments. My presentations to promote flooring as a preferred career choice resulted in 50-75% of attendees registering for more information. Candidates then attended the program’s Holmesglen TAFE facility to participate in a half-day ‘taster session’ and gain hands-on experience across the flooring sectors and converse with industry leaders about flooring industry opportunities. This approach saw over 200 individuals register for an Apprenticeship in Flooring Technology, with a diverse age range of 15-64 years. Sixty candidates were selected by employers and entered official trials within the first 12 months.The success of the program is currently being independently evaluated. The achievements and outcomes will be presented across Victoria’s VET sector.

The Functional Training Institute is a professional development company with approximately 60 staff operating across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, and Europe. Reporting directly to the CEO, my role was to develop systems for training and onboarding of new staff across Australia and Internationally. My responsibilities included staff training and management, overseeing budgets, course accreditation and compliance across five registration bodies. A prominent success was the development of a sales strategy to encourage consumers to purchase all six programs that were available in one transaction. Previously, consumers would purchase courses on a random basis, based on what training equipment they had available. The ‘Master Functional Trainer’ program encouraged the consumer to purchase the ‘system’ over the individual programs. Once all six were completed, consumers received the title of ‘Master Functional Trainer.’ A status noting their level of competence. The new approach increased the average client spend from $480 to $2000.

The Personal Training Academy (PTAcademy) was the Australian arm of PTA Global, a collaboration of 25 of the world’s most prestigious and well-respected professionals. PTAcademy was Australia’s first Registered Training Organisation (RTO) to introduce functional training assessments and systems to the Personal Training Industry. My role, as Education Manager, required me to collate all resources that were made available via our international partners to meet the ASQA Training Package requirements, and to develop learning material and resources to meet compliance needs. Additionally, the role evolved to create and customise the PD and onboarding programs for many Health and Fitness Companies, including Fitness First, Virgin Active, Genesis and Goodlife Health Clubs. My role played an integral part in the national growth and scaling of the company through the sourcing and training of new state-based team members, overseeing their training for delivery of relevant course materials at a first-class standard. This encompassed the building of presenter guides, PowerPoint slides, resources, and templates, and most importantly, strong and engaging presentation skills. PTAcademy grew from a small operation based in Melbourne, Victoria, to an Australia-wide company hosting courses in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, and Brisbane. PTAcademy remains one of Australia’s leading training providers

The objective of the Health and Wellbeing program at The Age Print Centre was to keep employees healthy, motivated, and engaged during the process of plant closure. The aim was to provide practical strategies and ideas to the employees to assist them in improving their health and fitness. The idea was to deliver a range of information sessions, training, workshops, and nutrition advice in order to provide something for everyone.This would assist in maintaining productivity, on time running and morale. The program would also aim to reduce absenteeism and work cover claims through injury and stress by helping the employees to improve their physical, cognitive, and emotional resilience.The Health and Wellbeing program had an amazing impact on a lot of people’s lives. Employees spoke about going home and talking about their health and fitness. Many of the employees and their families changed the way they ate and became a lot more active. They spoke of their children being interested in what was going on at work and wanting to be involved.Final assessments showed:• Of 65% of people who started the program, over 95% completed it.• 1580 visits to the gym up from 250 visits the year prior• 198 bio-age years younger.• Consumption filtered water increased by 25%• Sick leave down 12.5% year on year – a great result considering the imminent closure.The program would later be named winner of the HIA Occupational Health and Safety Awards.
