Webinar: Making Industry Currency Meaningful for Trainers & Assessors
This focused session will explain the purpose of industry currency, why it matters for quality training and assessment, and how trainers and assessors can demonstrate that their knowledge, skills and industry understanding remain current and relevant.
Description
Making Industry Currency Meaningful for Trainers and Assessors is a focused 1-hour webinar designed to give VET practitioners and RTO leaders a clear and practical understanding of what industry currency means under the Standards for RTOs 2025 and how it can be maintained in everyday practice.
The session will explain the purpose of industry currency, why it matters for quality training and assessment, and how trainers and assessors can demonstrate that their knowledge, skills and industry understanding remain current and relevant. Rather than treating currency as a paperwork exercise, the webinar will explore how meaningful industry connection can strengthen training delivery, assessment practice and learner outcomes.
Participants will be introduced to the essential foundations of a clear industry currency framework, including how to identify relevant currency activities, link them to training products, document evidence appropriately, and show how currency informs current practice. The webinar will also consider how RTOs can provide trainers and assessors with clearer expectations, practical guidance and simple systems so they know what to do, when to do it, and how to record it.
By the end of the session, participants will have a stronger understanding of industry currency in practice and a practical starting point for building or improving a framework that supports trainers, assessors, compliance expectations and quality outcomes.
