This online webinar will introduce you to the brand-new online Literacy and Numeracy Quizzes. These new online quizzes complement the well-loved Practice Aptitude Quizzes. We will step you through the full functionality of the online quizzes as well as updates to the PDF quizzes.

These quizzes are indicative of the literacy and numeracy requirements of specific industries when undertaking an Australian Apprenticeship. These quizzes were developed with the help of industry, TAFE, and the secondary school sector. They are not a formal assessment of literacy and numeracy skills.

Who is this webinar suitable for?

• Career practitioners working with students or clients interested in Australian Apprenticeships
• Teachers and school staff supporting students with their career research
• Apprenticeship advisers looking for materials to use with potential apprentices and trainees

This webinar examines the role of career development practitioners in delivering career interventions using information and communication technology (ICT), addressing core competencies 6a and 6b (Technology, information and resources) of the Professional Standards for Australian Career Development Practitioners.

The proposed role for practitioners is based on our current understanding of the benefits and limitations of ICT use.

Potential benefits include improved access to resources and support, as well as improved cost-effectiveness.

Potential limitations include poor assessment and information quality, limited practitioner support when needed, problems with distance intervention and social media, limited confidentiality and security of client records, inequality of access, inadequate practitioner competencies and credentials, and poor implementation.

Eighteen specific practitioner roles will be described that are intended to improve the effectiveness of career interventions.

The current and potential role of the practitioner in using social media in career interventions will then be examined in more detail.

Specific roles include using social media in providing expert information, providing a reflexive one-to-one dialogue, facilitating interaction among groups of individuals, and using social media in actively participating and engaging communities of individuals around career issues.

Six specific strategies for operationalising a visible and trusted social media presence will then be described.
