E-learning in avaition
New funding will help the aviation industry address workforce development issues arising from its unique position as being a high growth, yet operationally-driven and highly regulated, industry.
To meet these challenges, the sector has identified the need for a whole-of-industry quality approach to learning that aligns with nationally accredited qualifications and provides much needed flexibility for an operationally driven workforce.
Queensland Airports Limited (QAL) will form an industry partnership with Wagga Wagga Airport and Northern Territory Airports to use the funding and support provided by the national training system's e-learning strategy, the Australian Flexible Learning Framework’s (Framework) Industry Integration of E-learning.
The partnership will embed e-learning as part of a multiple year, industry sector-wide strategy to develop a skilled and professional workforce that will meet the current and future needs of the industry.
A specific focus for the aviation industry is the development of innovative learning tools that will overcome the practical issues that time (particularly when shift work is involved), distance and the dispersed, operational nature of the industry present.
The industry sector will develop and implement flexible learning tools that will:
· offer a solution to training scheduling for operationally driven organisations and shift workers, providing employees with the opportunity to learn where and when it is convenient for them
· help address urgent training issues surrounding compliance with a multitude of legislative and statutory requirements
· improve economies of scale to make the development of high quality learning resources more cost effective and readily available to multiple users
· develop partnerships that facilitate collaboration and sharing of knowledge and experiences with regard to the development of innovative solutions for common learning issues
According to Julie Peters from Queensland Airports Limited, this industry sector-wide approach is aimed at generating a cultural shift in attitudes toward what constitutes quality learning, particularly with smaller regional and remote operators who provide a vital link in the business chain, but do not have the financial or human resources to engage with e-learning alone.
The 2009 Industry E-learning Showcase and Exhibition will showcase how aviation and nine other industry sectors are choosing to tackle their challenges through e-learning, recognising that staff benefit from consistent, quality training which can be accessed at any time or place.Each industry sector is unique in scope and operation, and the showcase will highlight how their e-learning strategies are providing models in which diverse companies and industry organisations can cooperate on training and workforce development.
