This project aims to simplify and accelerate progress for our metal trades clients through the use of current technologies. The client group at which the project is focused are existing workers in the Welding and Fabrication industries who possess varying degrees of skills and experience. This project will help us in assessing existing skill levels, acknowledging the skills that are currently being developed in the workplace and identifying skills gaps.

Participation in the project will provide participants with training using various online and mobile tools which will help them to achieve a mandatory competency, it will also help them to develop and contribute to individual E portfolios.

As a result of industry demands students often find it difficult to attend TAFE, they may have to put in long hours on shut downs or travel out of the area or even out of the state to work. This project will allow them to contribute to their portfolio electronically irrespective of their location or time of the day. It will provide them a greater amount of flexibility and will be easy for us to track and for employers to monitor progress.
