Competency Framework Development

By linking company goals with team and individual performance, ARC can assist in building a sustainable map of the roles, skills and competencies needed to optimise performance across your organisation.

By clearly defining a framework around the integrated knowledge, skills, judgement, and attributes that your people will be able to better target the learning and development needs of the organisation.

This model is preferred strategy to improve workplace performance due to its well-documented ability to create learning and development that ‘sticks’

The model utilises workplace practice and experiences to strengthen formal learning. It suggests that 70% of learning occurs through workplace practice, 20% occurs via informal learning and supervised support, and 10% is achieved via formal education/training.

This successful model forms much of what we do at ARC, where we link learning with job tasks to ensure that learning is practiced and applied in the workplace.

I have had the pleasure of working with two of the trainers from ARC and have found them to be organised, efficient, professional, and well presented. The most important part of our relationship is for the trainer to relate to our Trainees and provide open communication both to the Trainees and to our business. Both trainers are exceptional in all areas I have mentioned, and their knowledge of the qualifications trained are exemplary. ….I would recommend the services of the Australian Retail College and we will continue our mutually beneficial relationship many years into the future

The support and communication from them have always been very professional and prompt - which shows me how much love and effort they give to each trainee and to the businesses they provide service to.
