Fast Tracking a Skilled Workforce is a collaboration comprising not for profit disability service providers Crosslinks (as the lead agency), Goldfields Individual and Family Support Association, Midwest Community Living Association, 4lifeskills, Essential Personnel, Diversity South, iinduct, and the DaV'ange Group.
The collaboration aims to provide existing disability support workers in regional and remote Western Australia the opportunity to quickly advance their skills and qualifications through blended learning, including face-to-face training, video-enabled learning, mapping of induction and in-service training, and Recognised Prior Learning.
This provides solutions to workforce challenges faced by the disability sector, by enabling workers to gain formal qualifications, which leads to a skilled workforce, enhanced compliance and higher retention of staff.
