Bring It On NCAT Young Women In Trades and Technology (NYWITT) Project**
Building Gender Equality into Trades and Technology In Secondary Education

The Bring it On NCAT Young Women in the Trades and Technology (NYWITT) project aims to encourage increased numbers of school aged young women to engage in Trade and Technology studies during Years 10-12 at NCAT.

It also aims to facilitate and monitor their employment in Trades and Technology over a period of 4 years starting 2023 and to develop sustainable partnerships with a range of local organisations including Local Employers, Employer Associations, Unions, Municipal Councils, Regional VET Cluster, Local Colleges.

Ideally this will be a four-year project, of which stage one has been fully funded and runs from August 2023 to July 2024.

The NYWITT Project Officer will play a vital role in establishing selected idustry partnerships, developing a network of schools to participate in a range of activities including tours, NCAT student speakers talking to schools, an evening Bring it On event and other activities as outlined in the Responsibilities section below.

Range 3 is distinguished by the introduction of management responsibility and accountability for the delivery of professional support services. The role will usually impact beyond the work area or professional field.

It seeks to gain cooperation of other staff members or members of the school community to achieve specific objectives, such as in school administration, operations or educational programs.

Direction on targets and goals is provided but the position will have some degree of latitude in determining how they are achieved.

This latitude will generally be limited by standard procedures and school policy. Deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.

The provision of business management responsibilities becomes a feature at range 3. Management of staff to achieve the expected outcomes is a key responsibility.

Staff management issues will be resolved with mínimal reference to senior management, although guidance will be required in more complex cases.

Senior management will be provided with timely reports and advice, although this will generally be confined to matters relating to the immediate work area, service provision or educational program and is unlikely to impact substantially on whole of school operations.

This is the minimum range for positions that carry a mandatory qualification requirement of not less than four years. Professional student support positions become a feature at range 3 (e.g. therapists, psychologists) where standard professional services are delivered.

Professional support and guidance will be close at hand and deviation from standard procedures and school policy will require guidance and direction from senior management.

An education support class position supports the educational services being provided to students, but must not include duties of teaching as defined in clause 2.6.1 of the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic) or its successor.

Supervision of students cannot be required except where it is an integral part of the employee¿s position or involves supervision of students individually or in small groups, in controlled circumstances, where the responsibility for students remains clearly with a teacher.

Responsibilities:

Initiate the development of a range of Selected Local Industry Partners (SLIPs) from the Building, Plumbing, Electrical, Cabinet Making, Engineering and Automotive sectors. Each SLIP will sign up to an agreed Code of Respectful Conduct and will provide for a mix of
Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) and Work Experience placements.
