A message from the General Manager - Learning Solutions
|
|
|
I hope that you and your whānau are safe
and well during this unprecedented situation. I just wanted to update you on how Careerforce is operating during the Covid-19 Alert Level 4.
Careerforce is aware that the majority of the workforces we support are regarded as essential during this time and as such remain working. With this in mind, we have moved quickly to ensure we maintain support for organisations who continue to train and assess.
We have moved fairly seamlessly to a model of working from home and have very good systems and processes in place to enable this. Our support for you in your role as a workplace assessor effectively remains the same.
I would encourage those of you who do not use our online learning and assessment platform - Aka Toi, to explore this option. It enables trainees to access learning and assessment remotely and assessors to mark and submit them online. We have lots of support available to help with using it and a trial module where you can try it out and learn. Almost all of our programmes are available on Aka Toi. If you would like to discuss this please contact the assessor support team.
Thank you for your commitment to workplace training and assessment. Please take care and be kind.
Rod Bentham
