Regional skills demand snapshot: South East Melbourne

This snapshot is the first of its kind undertaken by the Victorian Skills Commission (VSC) and is based on elements of the VSC's successful Regional Skills Taskforces conducted in the Mallee [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 133.933] and the Great South Coast regions [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 137.227]. The South East Melbourne Region of metropolitan Melbourne, encompassing the City of Dandenong, City of Frankston, City of Monash, Cardinia Shire, Mornington Peninsula Shire, City of Kingston and City of Casey is growing rapidly. A supply of highly skilled local workers is critical to underpin this growth and the vocational education and training (VET) system has a key role to play. However, the VET system and training delivery is not always aligned with the current and future skills needs of local employers. An employer-informed response can improve this alignment and help address current and emerging skills shortages, thereby ensuring that workers in the South East Melbourne Region are skilled, productive and employable.
The South East Melbourne Region has approximately 83,500 businesses and approximately 500,000 full-time and part-time jobs, which accounts for 18 per cent of all jobs in Victoria. The economic profile of the region reflects strengths in four key sectors: Manufacturing, Construction, Retail Trade, and Community Services and Health (CS&H). The logistics and tourism sectors are also expected to support future growth, particularly due to the geography of the region (proximity to well-connected transport routes, port access and cheap land) and its rich natural environment. The region is also seeing growing demand for locally produced high-value agricultural goods (including high-quality wines and other foods), giving local Food and Fibre businesses the opportunity to expand operations. While the outlook of local industries across the South East Melbourne Region is positive, its economic potential is dependent on the region's capacity to address existing workforce challenges and shortages.

Vocational training in a prison environment

The proposals outlined in this document relate to the coordination of prison industries and vocational training in prisons. Data is presented which suggest that training programs unconnected to labour market opportunities may make little difference to employment and recidivism outcomes. However where training programs engage prisoner participation and give hope of future employment they are more likely to be successful. It is proposed that prisoners gain credit towards a qualification for their participation in industries and other programs within prisons. It is further proposed that qualifications gained within prisons have currency in the labour market. The report emphasises the connection between vocational, industrial and basic programs, but does not preclude connection with advanced education courses where appropriate. Show less

Training supervisors for a multicultural workforce

The Melbourne College of Textiles in conjunction with the National Project in Multicultural and Crosscultural Supplementary Programs (MACSP) carried out investigations into the specific training needs of current and future supervisors from non-English speaking backgrounds (NESBs) and supervisors of NESB workers.
The purpose of this research is primarily to assist TAFE curriculum designers, trainers and teachers by making known the obstacles to training NESB participants in TAFE supervision courses and how best to overcome these obstacles. The research tries to identify the gap in TAFE training provision for supervision of NESB participants or supervisors of NESB workers.
Case studies were undertaken, giving examples of language barriers at the workplace, problems relating to cultural misunderstandings and the lack of knowledge of different cultures which has an impact on workplace harmony. The case studies show some methods of operating which are successful and some which are not.
The report finds that the most important skills of a supervisor are in human relations. Three key problem areas were identified, relating to: communication; multicultural problem; language and customs. The report contains conclusions and recommendations. Show less
