7.1 Teaching activities
Accredited foundation skills course scholarship recipients will be obliged to teach at a Learn Local provider for 200 hours to receive their final milestone payment. (With the exception of TAESS0026 Foundation Skills Integration Skill Set and Victoria University Literacy in the Community unit, which are only open to existing Learn Local staff.)
This may be in a voluntary or paid capacity.
Teaching activities that may be performed as part of the scholarship obligation include:
- pre-accredited program delivery
- pre-accredited program design and development
- pre-accredited resource development
- pre-accredited classroom support
- pre-accredited learner support, interview or pre-assessment.
Note: Scholarship recipients are solely responsible for achieving the scholarship conditions.
The Department does not guarantee employment at a Learn Local provider.
Scholarship recipients have up to two (2) years to complete the teaching activities at a Learn Local provider.
The Department can offer limited support to Scholarship recipients to make the right connections to achieve their scholarship obligation requirements with Learn Local providers, who have expressed interest in becoming a host Learn Local (refer Appendix A). Contact training.participation@djsir.vic.gov.au.
Any changes to scholarship recipient’s teaching activities at a Learn Local provider must be reported to the education provider.
