TRAINING
ARRANGEMENTS
As per the Training Commitment in this Award (Clause
12), training shall be undertaken as follows:
Internal Courses - Courses will be designed as modules,
particularly for NES skills. There will
be a theoretical component developed by exhibitions staff with the expertise in
the area and this material will be presented by the Museum's Training
Officer. There will also be a practical
component which will consist of project assignments, under supervision of the
relevant exhibition employee. Each
course will have a set of instructional objectives and staff will be required
to meet set performance standards.
It is also envisaged that the senior Exhibitions staff
who may be called on to present courses will undertake a modified 'Train the
Trainer" program to both increase their skills in training and to meet the
requirements of the Training Guarantee Legislation.
All NOS skills required in the Award will be covered by
internal courses, which are planned for in the Museum's Staff Development
Program prepared every six months by the Human Resource Manager.
There will be cases where external experts will be
brought in to conduct specific training, for example in new equipment and
technology, where this cannot be accommodated by Museum staff.
External Courses - There are several courses that may
be undertaken externally. The Museum
already has contacts with the relevant institutions, including TAFE and we will
be liaising further with these bodies where the need arises for a specific
course that cannot be dealt with in-house.
On-the-Job Training - This is an integral part of the
Award. Many skills, particularly NES and GFES can best be learnt by direct work
experience, rotation between Project Teams, participating in different kinds of
projects (e.g. both small temporary and large semi-permanent exhibitions) and
short-term placement with other staff specialists. At times, work activity and the exhibitions
program may not be able to provide the range of skills needed through direct
work experience. Therefore, the training
will be undertaken through other means and be included in the Museum's Staff
Development Program.
The Museum's Staff Appraisal Scheme will be used as a
means of planning the training that needs to be undertaken by each employee and
an individual development and training program prepared on an annual basis by
the employee and supervisor, that will encompass the three different training
options.
