Self-led Learning

Employees we support will have the option to attend the group-based sessions which is facilitated by the trainer, or they can soon choose to engage in self-led online learning, accessible through their own Endeavour Foundation email address.

This aims to give employees an extra level of choice and control, empowering them to a more accessible and effective learning experience that suits their needs.

FAQs

What is happening?

We have updated all mandatory training materials for employees we support to ensure consistency of learning and accurate reporting.

Employment Coaches and other relevant trainers have been trained on how to effectively deliver the modules to employees, while maintaining consistency across our sites.

Here is an Easy Read you can share with employees we support to help explain these changes to their mandatory training.

Why are we updating the mandatory training materials?

These changes ensure consistent training across the organisation, Employment Coaches and other relevant trainers are supported with a suite of facilitator guides and modules in Easy Read format, to ensure employees we support are receiving the same consistent training.


This also ensures compliance with legislation and maintains training relevance, reduces health and safety risks and improves learning outcomes.

Who will this impact?

Employment Coaches, Site Managers and Production Team Leaders in the Work division.

Where can I access the resources?

All resources are available on Engage.

Engage can be accessed via any personal computer (PC), laptop or smart device with internet access.

I have not completed the train the trainer sessions, what do I do?

All Employment Coaches and site personnel responsible for delivering induction and mandatory training should now have completed the train the trainer sessions.

If you have not yet completed the train the trainer session, please directly contact the facilitator, Ray Anderson on [email protected] or speak to your Site Manager.

What happens if an employee we support has already completed these modules this year, do they have to do them again?

No, if an employee has completed the previous modules on the same topic, that will be sufficient for that year. But the following year they will need to complete the new modules.

If a trainer leaves the company, will the sessions be re-done for the new trainer?

No. It will be the responsibility of Site Managers and senior staff to train the new trainer, as they would with any new trainer that joins the organisation.

Many resources are available to support this including the facilitator guides, information sheets and contacting People and Wellbeing through the #TeamPossible Support Hub for further support.

Is the Defence Assistance Program (DAP) included in this training?

Yes. However, its rollout will occur later in the year. Due to DAP being a government-based initiative with existing mandatory training in place, our team is assessing our obligation to train employees in line with government requirements to avoid duplication.
