1 week ago


Cairns City, Australia Troocoo Full time

Are you an experienced, people-orientated professional with a strong background in stakeholder engagement? I am partnering with a Queensland Government Department recruiting a highly experienced and adaptable contractor to lead a Queensland vocational education and training (VET) Strategy pilot program in FNQ to bring relevant parties together to develop approaches and projects that will facilitate a place-based approach to the identification of skills needs unique to local FNQ communities and training solutions developed locally.

Your opportunity

As the Far North Queensland (FNQ) VET Coordinator and Facilitator, you will be based in Cairns and will be working closely with the local training office to lead VET stakeholder engagement across the region to bring relevant parties together to develop a collaborative place-based training delivery plan that will support local skills needs and training participation by priority cohorts, with a particular focus on assisting First Nations people, people with a disability, and people from diverse multicultural backgrounds. 

Key responsibilities

As the successful candidate you will have considerable experience with the training sector and working with First Nations people. You will use your excellent project management and stakeholder engagement skills to:

  • develop a stakeholder consultation framework (for approval by the Department) which incorporates key actions and activities, deliverables and timelines.
  • consult broadly across FNQ communities, industry and employer representatives, and training providers, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community controlled organisations.
  • bring local stakeholders together to work collaboratively on identifying training solutions to skills and workforce challenges that complement other programs and projects focused on workforce solutions. This includes how government funded VET can work in tandem with other support mechanisms, resources and physical spaces/hubs (including financial and in-kind contributions) to achieve improved community outcomes.
  • clearly identify the skills and job roles in demand, the subsidised qualification(s) and/or skill set(s) and work with training providers to formulate training solutions to address these needs, and the locations where training delivery is needed, or demand can be aggregated (establishing clear local VET pathways to employment).
  • work with training providers to develop a collaborative solution for training delivery that is sustainable, meets local skills priorities and delivers successful outcomes for students.
  • lead and develop a plan to address local training priorities in consultation with local VET stakeholders and industry, to provide effective access to face-to-face and inclusive training and support that delivers individual social and economic benefits for FNQ region.
  • prepare strategic and high-level submissions, reports, papers, statements, briefings and correspondence on industry skills policy.

 Your suitability for this role will be assessed against how you:

  • Demonstrate high-level and effective stakeholder engagement, as evidenced by a record of significant achievement and innovation in identifying training and skilling issues across a range of industries and influencing outcomes that support strategic objectives.
  • Demonstrate ability to inform a whole-of-government policy in relation to industry skill development.
  • Demonstrate high level interpersonal, consultation and communication skills, including the ability to negotiate persuasively, with proven written communication skills particularly in preparing significant submissions, reports and briefing documents.
  • Initiate, develop and maintain collaborative working relationships and partnerships with relevant internal and industry stakeholders.
  • Exhibit the principles, tools and techniques and other project management methodologies that enable you to work effectively under pressure, handle competing priorities, meet externally imposed deadlines and bring projects to completion within required timeframes.

Role requirements

  • Diversity makes our team better and we strongly encourage applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds, including people with disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and culturally and linguistically diverse people.
  • Citizenship/visa: to be appointed to a position, you must be an Australian citizen, have permanent residency status or a visa permitting you to work in Australia.
  • Disclosure of pre-existing condition: an applicant is to disclose prior to their engagement any pre-existing illness or injury that could impact their ability to perform duties of the role or has potential to aggravate a pre-existing illness or injury.
  • Drivers’ license: it is a mandatory requirement for the occupant of this position to hold an unrestricted driver’s license or be prepared to obtain a manual license if they do not. Officers are required to drive government vehicles as a part of their day-to-day work.
  • Travel away from centre: while the position is based in Cairns, travel within the region will be required in this role. This may include overnight stays.

This position closes Friday 26th June 2024.  Apply now for immediate consideration.
