NESM and Enhanced Services: Preparing For Your Proposal 2 Workshop
On-line in 5 -parts
Join NESA's Senior Policy Advisor Damien Opolski online as he hosts and facilitates the 5 part NESM and Enhanced Services: Preparing For Your Proposal 2 workshop. In the fifth module, Damien will be joined by NESA’s Principal Policy Advisor Annette Gill as the topic expert to look at and discuss the selection criteria.
In May this year we ran a very successful three-part series called ‘NESM – Preparing For Your Proposal’. The series looked at the proposed licencing and payments models, as well as giving newer people an insight into the evolution of Australia’s employment services and the current landscape. We also looked at how the Department of Education, Skills and Employment (DESE) have traditionally monitored performance and some key tips around responding to DESE procurement exercises.
This Preparing For Your Proposal 2 workshop builds on this. With the release of the Request for Proposal we now have a greater insight into what NESM Enhanced Services will look like ‘on the ground’.
Preparing For Your Proposal 2 workshop will be delivered on-line in five modules over five near consecutive days, starting Wednesday 15 September 2021.
The workshop will be delivered by Damien Opolski with topic expert Annette Gill joining him in Module 5.
This will ensure you get information early and maximise the time available to complete your proposal. Modules 2 – 4 look at different aspects of the policy and will be of particular interest to newer people.
WITH THE RELEASE OF THE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL WE NOW HAVE A GREATER INSIGHT INTO WHAT NESM ENHANCED SERVICES WILL LOOK LIKE ‘ON THE GROUND’.
