WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
The Intro to Employment Services coaching program has been developed by Damien Opolski. Damien has a background in delivering employment services and for a number of years managed the Departments Learning Centre. He has designed the program to help new starters better understand the context and concepts of the government‘s approach to employment services. It gives new starters an opportunity to better learn the ‘big picture’ and where they sit.
Session 1: An overview of today’s employment services programs – Monday 19 October 2020 at 3pm AEDT
looks at how services have evolved as the labour market has changed. We get an overview of today’s suite of programs and how the programs are tailored to the different client groups. We look at the concept of Mutual Obligations and the role of employment providers in assessing and working with job seekers to meet the objectives of work, engagement and participation. We look at the future of services and how digital servicing is expected to play an increasing role for some job seekers, with enhanced face to face servicing for those likely to benefit from a case management service.
We look at the features which are common across all programs:
- The role of Services Australia in ‘triaging’ jobseekers to appropriate services through JSCI, ESAt and JCA assessments, and determining a job seekers MOR
- We learn how some clients, such as vulnerable youth and those who are at risk of retrenchment, can access services
- We look at the role of the provider in assessing vocational and non-vocational characteristics and negotiating the ‘contract’, or Job Plan, that underpins services.
- We talk briefly about the role of service fees and outcome fees, and how the Departments assess provider performance for efficiency, effectiveness and quality.
Session 2: The Australian labour market – yesterday, today and tomorrow – Wednesday 21 October 2020 at 3pm AEDT
looks at our evolving labour market and opportunities for our clients. We look at causes of unemployment and LTUE, and how the labour market has changed as a result of automation, efficiency and globalisation. We look at the data which tells us about the types of work that our clients tend to find. Most importantly, we look at trends in the labour market which inform us about the future of work and opportunities for our client base.
Session 3: Mutual Obligation Requirements and the Job Seeker and Targeted Compliance Frameworks – Wednesday 28 October 2020 at 3pm AEDT
looks in more detail at MOR and compliance. We look in more detail at part-time and full-time MOR and how job seekers can meet their MOR. We introduce new starters to the TCF- the concept of demerits and the use of income support suspension to keep people engaged.
In addition, new starters have the opportunity to tap into Damien’s 35 years of experiences in the sector.
