This project has already been presented internationally. On 23-24 May 2018 a Global Forum on Entrepreneurship and Innovation was held at Humber College, Toronto, Canada. Philippa Keaney, then a member of our Learning and Teaching Development team, presented a workshop titled, “A framework for developing work-readiness: transferable skills in diverse contexts”.
“In this workshop, we expand on the concept of capabilities as human-centred attributes that are considered sought-after by employers,” Philippa explains. “Otago Polytechnic’s Learner Capability Framework has been developed through industry research, and identifies 25 core capabilities. Taking this model as an example, we seek to identify the strengths and limitations of an employer-driven approach to capabilities.”
Then at the Vocational Education and Training “No Frills” conference in Sydney, Australia 15-18 August 2018, project manager Andy Kilsby presented on the application of the project to the teaching of learner capabilities, especially in the secondary/tertiary interface.
