Off The Job Traineeship Program     On-the-job and off-the-job training programs are the two different forms of training delivery that are possible under the traineeship scheme.   An off-the-job traineeship requires a trainee to attend Stones & Muirden Business College & Training Centre for their structured training.  The trainee attends Stones & Muirden Business College & Training Centre one day per week to complete their study obligations.  A Trainee’s progress and attendance are monitored closely.  Written reports on a trainee’s progress are sent every three months directly to the employer.  Verbal reports may be requested at any time during a trainee’s course of study.   The College offers an environment that instils academic and professional excellence.   The role of a training provider during an off-the-job traineeship is: To develop a training plan with the employer and trainee at the beginning of the program tailoring their qualification requirements to their job description. To provide all instruction and resource materials required for a trainee to undertake their training plan. To offer constructive feedback to an employer about their trainee’s progress at regular intervals. To assess a trainee’s level of competency against nationally accredited criteria. To issue a nationally recognised qualification when all assessments have been deemed competent. To offer support to the employer and trainee in relation to training and assessment concerns, as required.
