iCollege and Pharmacy Guild of Australia partner to design infection control training
•iCollege and The Pharmacy Guild of Australia (The Guild RTO 0542) have signed a partnership agreement to design and promote the Government launched infection control training.
•Infection control skill set to be promoted to 5,800 community pharmacies across Australia.
•Federal and state governments have joined together to provide funding for the training through the $80m Infection Control Training Fund – iCollege has funding contracts in five Australian States and Territories and can therefore immediately facilitate the courses online or in person.
•iCollege to be paid between ~$290 and ~$620 for each pharmacy worker that undergoes training.
•iCollege and The Pharmacy Guild of Australia are collaborating to ensure that this training can be delivered to pharmacy workers who are on the primary health care workers in the battle against COVID-19.
•Other industry sectors being pursued – healthcare, transport and logistics, retail, hospitality and professional sporting codes all of which will attract government funding.
•iCollege has the largest geographical reach of any private Registered Training Organisation to deliver this training with the exception of TAFE.
Through subsidiary businesses, Sero Institute, Celtic Training and Capital Training Institute, iCollege has funding contracts in place with the relevant state bodies in Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales and The Australian Capital Territory. This gives iCollege the largest geographical reach of any RTO to deliver this training with the exception of TAFE. iCollege is currently working on being able to deliver the training in Tasmania, Victoria and The Northern Territory.
On 16 May 2020, Senator the Hon Michaelia Cash - Minister for Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business said in a media release that
“The Morrison Government and all State and Territory governments have agreed to jointly invest in a new $80 million infection control training fund. The fund will support customer-facing businesses to train workers in how to minimise the risk of spread of COVID-19 and support them to re-open safely. The fund will enable the rollout of new infection control short courses, the first national training product developed by the new Australian Industry Skills Emergency Response Sub-Committee in response to COVID-19.
Around 80,000 workers across industries including retail, food handling, and transport and logistics will pay no fee or a small fee for training previously only widely available in the health sector.”
Since the Ministers announcement, iCollege has been diligently working on the contextualisation (customisation) of these skill sets (short courses) and will also make them available to the healthcare, transport and logistics, retail, food, hospitality and sporting industries.
Might be worth including on the WL...............could offer up a short term trade perhaps.
Note ..............I have no idea on their cash position or anything else as I only just read this ann..............not holding so DYOR.
