WHY TRAINING NEEDS TO CHANGE

Technical capability matters more as the industry changes

Retain knowledge

Experienced operators, supervisors and technical staff hold practical knowledge that can disappear quickly when people retire or leave the sector.

Build technical depth

Automation can make production easier to operate while making process understanding even more important when something goes wrong.

Create progression

People need a realistic pathway from general operation through skilled process work and, where appropriate, into technical practitioner roles.

OUR APPROACH

One technical foundation. Increasing levels of competence.

People should not have to relearn the same material every time they progress. LASRA's developing model uses a common technical foundation, with assessment matched to what the learner is expected to do with that knowledge.

01

The resource teaches.
Clear, technically sound material that people can keep and use.

02

The workplace develops competence.
Capability grows through real processing experience.

03

LASRA verifies understanding.
Assessment is selective, practical and purposeful.
