Training Package: Community Services
Description: This Toolbox supports learners at Certificate IV and Diploma levels and has a strong focus on research skills. The Toolbox supports a wide range of users, particularly learners enrolled in a range of specialist/higher level qualifications in community services - including community work, youth work, mental health work, alcohol and other drug work or disability work - and learners whose roles support these services. In particular, it will provide a powerful resource tool to assist higher-level management as well as community services staff to develop strategies to address systems advocacy issues, develop policies and conduct sound and necessary research to meet client group needs in the community services sectors.
The Toolbox metaphor in which the learning activities are placed is a community based service called the Carmen Poldis Community Centre. The competencies contained in the Toolbox are reflected in the range of services provided by the Centre. The content is organised such that each unit of competency stands alone. Each unit of competency is represented by a job that comprises a series of tasks. While each competency stands alone and is supported by a series of tasks, there can be some overlap in the material underpinning these tasks
The online delivery of education has advantages in its format and flexibility. By being engaging and interactive, real-world tasks are able to be simulated. The Toolbox uses scenarios and case studies which learners respond to in a variety of ways. They can plan courses of action, collaborate with other learners in devising solutions, and play interactive games to reinforce their learning. They can learn when and where it suits them.
