Supporting technical experts to become work-based trainers
This project will identify key capabilities and good practices that support effective work-based training. We will develop and trial tools and resources that support work-based trainers to improve their practice
The issue
Ākonga in work-based learning contexts will spend roughly 70 percent learning on-job with a work based Kaiako/trainer, and 30 percent off-job with a provider-based trainer. Currently there is a lack of support for work-based trainers to develop their training skills.
Intended outcomes
- Identify examples of good work-based training practice
- Identify common needs for capability development of work-based trainers
- Tools and resources are developed and trialed to support work-based trainers
- Recommendations and summary of findings.
The steps
- Step 1: Recommendations and summary of findings
- Step 2: Develop tools for capability development
- Step 3: Trial ability development solutions in the workplace
- Step 4: The development a suite of recommendations and associated strategies.
Researcher: Jackie Messam
My curiosity for people paired with a strong background in staff development and programme design has led me to forming RippleEd.
With a background in education and a strengths based, people centred approach, I have spent a vast amount of time supporting the capability development of leaders, technical experts and teachers in New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia.
I have a Master’s in Education, and I’m a qualified secondary teacher with a background in teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) and Japanese. I’m also an accredited CQ (Cultural Intelligence) and EC (Emotional Capability) trainer.
I’m currently working with Te Pūkenga, PTEs, and businesses on a range of capability projects to upskill Kaiako in the workplace and on campus.
