Gone are the days where students are required to sit in a classroom for instruction from a TAFE teacher. This type of instructional teaching does not suit the Club industry nor does it capture the experience and expertise that club industry professionals have gained during the course of their years working in the industry.
Over the past decade TAFE NSW South Western Sydney Institute (SWSi) has developed expertise in being able to respond the changing needs of the Club Industry by offering workforce solutions that are designed to be delivered in a blended delivery method. As well, SWSi has developed a number of customised programs designed to meet the specific needs of our individual and valuable club partners.
Additionally,we have developed particular expertise in not only establishing partnerships with key industry players, we have also designed and delivered workforce solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of the Club industry. We work with our clients to understand their systems, procedures and processes to support the particular club’s outcomes and the capability of the club’s workforce.
We offer a wide range of specialist learning activities to enhance individual capability gained through e-learning initiatives and innovative teaching practices.
At the recent Club Forum held on 1st August 2012, SWSi announced their industry partnership with Allied Risk Solutions. This partnership is just one of the latest key initiatives that SWSi has entered, in order to meet and support the training needs of our club partners.
As part of the Club Forum a number of the funding schemes that are available, were showcased by the Funding Bodies.
