Leadership and personal finance are the focus of TROY’s two free online classes this summer

Whether you’re interested in building valuable leadership skills to propel your career or are interested in learning principles to protect and grow your wealth, Troy University is ready to help those who want to make a commitment to their future by offering two free courses this summer.

TROY’s online courses have been ranked among the country’s best by U.S. News and World Report. The University is known for emphasizing the importance of developing strong leaders and its leadership program is one of the best in the nation. Beginning July 11, TROY will offer a free online, four-week course entitled an Introduction to Leadership. This course presents a rare opportunity for participants to learn how to lead from a global perspective while incorporating self-evaluation in order to gain a better understanding of how to lead effectively.

“We believe that universities are responsible for building the leaders of tomorrow and that is a commitment we do not take lightly,” said Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., Chancellor. “Our mission is to develop leaders who are well equipped to meet the challenges of today’s world. These two free courses are an excellent introduction to all we offer at Troy University while giving participants the chance to learn valuable life skills.”

New for 2022, TROY is offering a free personal finance course entitled Your Life, Your Success — Money Management and Financial Wellness which is designed to give students an overview of financial principles that will help them succeed. Students will learn about budgeting, filing taxes, different types of loans and insurance products, and an overview of investment options. This course will be offered in two tracks beginning July 11; one for a general audience and one for young adults.

The courses are open to anyone and do not require enrollment in TROY to participate. Participants who enroll at Troy University can earn three credit hours for each course as a general elective or minor course. The courses run for four weeks and end on Aug. 8. To earn academic credit, students must pass a challenge exam at the end of the courses. Current TROY students who participate must have less than 15 hours of university credit to receive academic credit for passing the challenge exam. Register at: troy.edu/freeclass.

Skilled migration and visa backlog in focus at Anthony Albanese’s first National Cabinet meeting

The visa backlog must be addressed to allow migration to be harnessed to combat skill shortages plaguing the country, according to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Mr Albanese hosted his first National Cabinet meeting on Friday, where state and territory leaders directly raised the issue of fast-tracking targeted migration with him.

The migration program is still suffering from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic with visa backlogs placing immense pressure on the Department of Home Affairs.

Students shun unis in favour of trades, vocational courses

Australian students have turned away from university degrees in favour of trades and vocational courses, the latest census data has revealed.

In 2021, 177,032 more students were completing vocational studies, which included courses offered by TAFE and private training providers, compared to 2016. In that same time period, there were just 24,824 more people studying at university.

Vocational students made up 7.8 per cent of all Australian students in 2021, up from 5.9 per cent in 2016 and 7.3 per cent in 2011.

Meanwhile, universities enrolled 15.4 per cent of students in 2021, compared to 16 per cent in 2016 and 14 per cent in 2011.

The census data also showed that vocational students are getting older, with 63 per cent aged 25 and older in 2021 compared to 57 per cent in 2016.

Women were far more likely to be enrolled at university than men, making up 58 per cent of students, compared to 56 per cent in 2016.

Productivity, Migration and Skills

At a national level, the question is: what is the link between education and growth?

That is a question the Productivity Commission is grappling with in the context of our 5-year Productivity Review. It’s not simple and to show why I want to start two claims: one bland and one more controversial.

The bland one is that education is fundamental to equipping people for the high skill jobs of a modern economy. (Among its many other benefits.) The controversial one centres on our prospects for future growth and it is this: it is not clear that high levels of education are making us any more innovative. Because the glaring paradox of our age is that we have never been more highly educated and we have the lowest productivity growth in 50 years.

How can this be, and what should we do about it? I think the challenge that it poses is that education and research, like most good things, have a tendency towards diminishing returns. The policy question is how we might break out of that tendency.

An operational plan for your training organisation

An operational plan is a document that outlines the key components of a training organisation’s operations. It includes information on the organisation’s structure, staffing, facilities, equipment, and procedures. An operational plan is an important tool for ensuring that a training organisation runs smoothly and efficiently.

A training organisation needs an operational plan in order to set out its goals and objectives and to ensure that its resources are used efficiently and effectively. The operational plan should be reviewed and updated on a regular basis, in line with the organisation’s strategic direction.

Operational plans are important for all organisations, but they are particularly essential for training organisations, which need to be able to respond quickly and effectively to changes in the market. An up-to-date operational plan will help a training organisation to make the most of opportunities as they arise, and to avoid or mitigate any potential risks.

The operational plan should be developed in consultation with all relevant stakeholders, including staff, clients, partners and suppliers. It should be reviewed and updated on a regular basis, in line with the organisation’s strategic direction.

A well-designed operational plan can help a training organisation to:

  • Define its purpose and objectives
  • Set out how it will achieve these objectives
  • Identify and allocate resources effectively
  • Set clear roles and responsibilities for staff
  • Streamline processes and procedures
  • Achieve its goals and objectives
  • Monitor and review progress against the plan

In addition to helping to achieve specific goals, an operational plan can also provide a number of other benefits. For example, it can help to improve communication within the organisation, by ensuring that everyone is aware of the organisation’s objectives and how they relate to their own role. It can also help to streamline operations and make the organisation more efficient. By having a clear plan in place, staff will know what needs to be done and when which can save valuable time and resources.

Operational planning is an essential tool for any training organisation that wants to achieve its full potential. By taking the time to develop a comprehensive operational plan, a training organisation can set itself up for success.

Operational plans are usually created on a yearly basis, but they can also be updated as needed in response to changes in the organisation or its environment. Operational plans should be reviewed regularly to ensure that they remain relevant and up-to-date.

Creating an operational plan can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. Start by taking a close look at your training organisation’s current operations. Identify the areas that are working well and the areas that could be improved. Once you have a good understanding of your organisation’s strengths and weaknesses, you can begin to develop an operational plan that will help your organisation to run more smoothly and efficiently.

The operational plan should be reviewed and updated on a regular basis in order to keep it relevant. This will help the organisation to adapt to changes in its environment and to keep up with the latest best practices.

Reviewing and updating the operational plan on a regular basis will help the training organisation to:

  • Make the most of opportunities as they arise
  • Avoid or mitigate any potential risks
  • Respond quickly and effectively to changes in the market
  • Ensure that its resources are used efficiently and effectively.

Operational plans should be flexible enough to allow for changes in the market and should be reviewed and updated on a regular basis. Reviewing and updating the operational plan on a regular basis will help the training organisation to make the most of opportunities as they arise, and to avoid or mitigate any potential risks.

There are many different elements that need to be considered when developing an operational plan. Perhaps the most important element is setting clear goals and objectives. What does the organisation want to achieve? How will these objectives be measured? Once these goals have been established, the next step is to identify the resources that will be required to achieve them. This includes things like finances, staff and facilities.

It is also important to consider how the operational plan will be implemented. Who will be responsible for each task? What timelines need to be put in place? By carefully considering all of these elements, a training organisation can develop an operational plan that will help it to achieve its desired outcomes.

If you’re not sure where to start, there are plenty of operational plan templates and examples available online. Alternatively, you can hire a consultant to help you develop an operational plan that is tailored to your organisation’s specific needs.

A strategic plan for your training organisation

A strategic plan is a roadmap for an organisation’s journey to success. It sets out the organisation’s goals and how it intends to achieve them. A strategic plan is essential for any training organisation that wants to grow and be successful.

Without a strategic plan, a training organisation is likely to flounder. Its goals will be haphazard and it will lack direction. A well-crafted strategic plan gives an organisation focus and clarity and helps it to measure its progress.

There are many different elements that go into a good strategic plan. But at its heart, a strategic plan should answer the following key questions:

  1. What is the organisation’s mission?
  2. What are the organisation’s goals?
  3. What are the organisation’s core values?
  4. What is the organisation’s competitive advantage?
  5. Who is the organisation’s target market?
  6. What are the organisation’s marketing objectives?
  7. What is the organisation’s sales strategy?
  8. What are the organisation’s operational objectives?
  9. What are the organisation’s financial objectives?
  10. How will the organisation measure success?
  11. Where are we now?
  12. Where do we want to be?
  13. How are we going to get there?
  14. What is your organisation’s purpose? What do you hope to achieve? Be as specific as possible.
  15. What strategies will we use to achieve our goals?

Answering these questions can be a daunting task. But it’s essential to take the time to do it properly. A training organisation that doesn’t have a clear idea of where it is, where it wants to be, and how to get there is unlikely to achieve its goals.

Creating a strategic plan for your training organisation can be a daunting task. However, with careful planning and execution, it can be a relatively simple process. Here are a few strategies to help you get started:

The first step in creating a strategic plan is to conduct a SWOT analysis. This stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. By looking at all four of these areas, you can get a clear picture of your organisation’s current situation. Once you know where you are starting from, you can begin to map out where you want to go.

The next step is to set some goals. These should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound (SMART). Once you have set your goals, you need to develop a strategy for achieving them. This will involve identifying the steps that need to be taken and who will be responsible for each one. You must create measurable objectives. Objectives should be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.

By following these strategies and guidelines, you can develop a strategic plan that will help you achieve your training organisation’s goals.

The four key pillars of the strategic plan for a training organisation

As an RTO, it is important to have a strategic plan in place in order to ensure continued success. The four key pillars of a successful RTO’s strategic plan are quality, innovation, service, and growth. These pillars are essential in ensuring that the organisation can provide effective training that meets the needs of its clients.

Starting with quality, it is essential that an RTO always delivers world-class training that meets the highest standards. This means continually improving upon existing training methods and developing new ones to stay ahead of the curve. Additionally, it is important to regularly review feedback from clients and make changes accordingly. Quality is the cornerstone of any successful organisation. A commitment to quality must be evident in all aspects of the organisation, from the materials used in training to the delivery of services.

Innovation is another critical pillar of a successful RTO’s strategic plan. An RTO must always be at the forefront of new training methods and technologies in order to stay competitive. This requires constantly exploring new ways of doing things and being open to change. Additionally, it is important to invest in research and development in order to create new training methods and technologies. It is important to constantly strive to improve upon existing methods and develop new ones that will better meet the needs of clients.

Service is another vital pillar of a successful RTO’s strategic plan. An RTO must provide an outstanding level of service to their clients, always going above and beyond their expectations. This means consistently providing high-quality customer service and developing strong relationships with clients. Additionally, it is important to continually strive to improve the level of service provided. Clients must be treated with respect and provided with high-quality service in order to maintain their loyalty.

Finally, growth is a key pillar of a successful RTO’s strategic plan. An RTO must continue to grow their business, both in terms of revenue and client base. This requires continual marketing efforts to attract new clients and retain existing ones. Additionally, it is important to invest in new training methods and technologies that will allow the RTO to expand their business. A training organisation must always be looking for ways to expand its services and reach new markets.

The four key pillars of a training organisation’s strategic plan are essential for the success of the organisation. By focusing on quality, innovation, service, and growth, a training organisation can achieve its goals and maintain a competitive edge.

Why does the regulatory legislation change frequently?

As a training organisation in Australia, it is important to stay up-to-date with the latest changes in regulatory legislation. This is because the regulatory environment in Australia is constantly changing, and new legislative requirements are introduced on a regular basis.

The rapidly changing regulatory landscape for training organisations in Australia can be attributed to a number of factors.

The Australian skills and vocational education sector is highly dynamic, with new courses, training providers and delivery models constantly emerging. This means that the legislation governing the sector must be regularly updated to reflect these changes.

The sector is highly competitive, which means that training providers must continually adapt their offerings to meet the needs of students and employers.

The ever-changing nature of the global economy means that new technologies and approaches to training are constantly being developed, which necessitates changes to the existing regulatory framework.

As the needs of businesses and industries change, so too do their training requirements, necessitating further changes to the legislation.

Finally, the sector is also subject to regular review by government bodies, which often results in changes to the legislation. The Australian government is constantly reviewing and updating its policies and regulations in order to ensure that the country’s training organisations are providing quality education and training services.

All of these factors contribute to the need for training organisations to keep up-to-date with the latest regulatory changes.

In order to ensure that training organisations are able to provide quality training and development services, they must comply with the latest legislative requirements.

These include requirements relating to the provision of quality training, the development and delivery of training programs, the assessment of students’ progress, and the reporting of results. In addition, training organisations are also required to meet a number of financial and operational requirements, such as those relating to the payment of fees, the maintenance of financial records, and the provision of insurance. While complying with all of these obligations can be challenging, it is important for training organisations to remember that they play an important role in ensuring that the country’s workforce is properly educated and trained.

However, compliance with regulatory legislation can be a challenge for training organisations. This is because the legislation is often complex and ever-changing. As a result, training organisations need to be constantly adaptable and flexible in order to meet the needs of their clients.

In order to stay up-to-date with the latest changes in regulatory legislation, training organisations should regularly consult with industry experts and keep abreast of the latest news and developments. Additionally, they should also consider utilising online resources, such as the Australian Training Directory, which provides information on the latest changes in regulatory legislation.

By staying up-to-date with the latest changes in regulatory legislation, training organisations can ensure that they are able to provide quality training and development services to their clients. This, in turn, will help to improve the productivity and competitiveness of businesses in Australia.

If you are a training organisation that is looking to stay up-to-date with the latest changes in regulatory legislation, it is important to consult with industry experts and utilise online resources.

Additionally, you should also keep abreast of the latest news and developments. By doing so, you can ensure that you are able to provide quality training and development services to your clients.

What to do when legislation changes.

When a new law or regulation is enacted that affects the operation of training organisations in Australia, it is important to take steps to ensure compliance. Depending on the nature of the change, this may involve modifying existing policies and procedures, developing new ones, or both.

There are a number of ways to stay up-to-date on legislative changes:

1. Pay attention to announcements from relevant government agencies. For example, if a change is made to the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011, the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) will likely issue a notice about it on its website.

2. Stay subscribed to email updates from bodies such as ASQA or other sector peak bodies. This way, you’ll be notified as soon as any changes are made to legislation that affects your training organisation.

3. Check sector-specific news sources regularly. For example, a number of websites include a section on regulatory updates, including CAQA.

4. Attend relevant events and conferences where updates are often provided.

5. Join relevant industry associations

6. It is always a good idea to consult with a legal professional if you have any questions or concerns about how a change in legislation may impact your business. They will be able to advise you on the best course of action moving forward.

7. Check the Australian Government’s Legislation Register regularly. This is the site where all changes to Commonwealth legislation are announced.

8. Stay informed about industry news and developments. Changes to legislation often come about as a result of wider changes in the sector or industry. By keeping up with news and developments, you’ll be in a better position to anticipate legislative changes that might affect your training organisation.

9. alk to other training organisations and sector bodies. Keeping in touch with others in your industry will help you stay abreast of legislative changes that might affect your training organisation.

10. Keep an eye on government consultations. The Australian Government often consults with industry and the public on proposed changes to legislation. By taking part in these consultations, you can have a say in the development of legislation that affects your training organisation.

It’s important to keep up-to-date on changes to legislation, as it can have a direct impact on your business. For example, new legislation may require you to change your training methods or materials. Ignoring legislative changes can put your business at risk of non-compliance.

If you’re not sure how a particular legislative change will affect your business, get in touch with a professional organisation or RTO consultants for advice. They’ll be able to provide you with guidance on how to stay compliant.

Once you are aware of a change, take the following steps:

  1. Review the new legislation and make sure you understand how it will impact your training organisation. Check the date the change comes into effect – make sure you are prepared in advance!
  2. Speak to your legal advisor or RTO compliance consultants to get guidance on how to comply with the new requirements.
  3. Assess and understand how the change will impact your organisation’s operations. This may require consulting with stakeholders such as staff, management, clients, or industry bodies. Decide if the change is something you need to comply with – some changes may not be relevant to your organisation.
  4. If you do need to comply with the change, develop a plan of action for how your organisation will do so. Determine what needs to be done to ensure compliance with the new law or regulation. This may involve modifying existing policies and procedures, developing new ones, or both. Organisations should then update their training materials and notify staff of the changes.
  5. Implement the necessary changes in a timely manner. Depending on the nature of the change, this may require training staff on the new procedures, updating client-facing materials such as changes on the marketing materials, training and assessment resources and materials, compliance and regulatory registers or making changes to internal systems, processes, procedures and operational guidelines.
  6. Communicate the changes to all relevant staff members and make sure they understand what is required of them under the new regime.
  7. Monitor compliance and make adjustments as needed. Once the changes have been put in place, it is important to monitor compliance and make any necessary adjustments. This may involve conducting audits, reviewing feedback from staff or clients, or modifying procedures as needed.
  8. Make any necessary tweaks or adjustments to ensure continued compliance.
  9. Keep up to date with any further changes that may come into effect, and repeat the process as necessary. Share your knowledge of the changes with others in your organisation, so that everyone is aware of the requirements.
  10. Seek professional help or advice if you are unsure about anything – it is better to be safe than sorry!

By taking these steps, you can ensure that your organisation is compliant with the latest legislation and able to continue operating smoothly.

Making sure your organisation is compliant with new legislation can be a challenge, but it’s essential for maintaining your accreditation. By taking the time to review the legislation and make the necessary changes, you can help ensure your organisation continues to provide quality training.
