VET Workforce Management & Industry Experts – What RTOs Need to Know with Maciek Fibrich
Manage episode 475957676 series 2653628
In this episode of the RTO Superhero Podcast, host Angela Connell-Richards is joined once again by Maciek Fibrich, RTO coach and compliance expert, to unpack the major changes in Quality Area 3 – VET Workforce Management under the new 2025 Standards for RTOs.
With a fresh focus on whole-of-organisation workforce management, these changes mean that compliance is no longer just the responsibility of trainers and assessors—it now extends to all staff, from administration to leadership. Angela and Maciek explore:
✅ VET Workforce Management – How the new standards shift from trainer-only requirements to a holistic workforce approach, ensuring all RTO staff are appropriately trained and developed.
✅ Professional Development for All Staff – Why continuing professional development (CPD) is now required for all employees, including administration, management, and support staff.
✅ Position Descriptions & Compliance Responsibilities – The importance of clearly defining compliance responsibilities across all roles, and ensuring CEOs and managers fully understand their obligations.
✅ Engaging Industry Experts in Training – The new flexibility to involve industry experts in training delivery without requiring them to hold a Cert IV in Training and Assessment—and what RTOs need to do to ensure compliance.
✅ Industry Expert Registers & Competency Systems – How RTOs can document, verify, and manage industry experts, including mapping industry expertise and maintaining a register of specialists.
✅ Co-Assessment with Industry Experts – How experts can support assessment alongside qualified trainers, ensuring stronger industry relevance without compromising compliance.
✅ Risk Management & Implementation Steps – How RTOs should assess risks, update policies, and implement change
