The Existing Employee Program: An Incentive Scheme for Skill Recognition, Staff Development and Qualifications
If you would like to know how to upgrade your qualifications to Library Technician Certificate IV for free, this is the session for you. This highly informative talk will put you in the picture and make clear the process of how to go about it. The benefits of this program are:
• The EEP scheme is a Commonwealth funded Australian Apprenticeship which allows you to gain nationally recognised credentials.
• Provides a well rounded overview of all library activities not always.
• Experienced in larger institutions where specialisation is often common.
• Gain confidence for yourself and increase your value to your employer.
• Keep in touch with the latest developments in library methods and technology.
• Gain recognition for the skills and abilities you already have.
• There are no out of pocket expenses for you or your employer.
This paper will discuss the pre-requisites for participation in this scheme and the incentives being offered to complete the certificate for you and your employer. It is a personal account by the participants which will hopefully inspire others to consider this scheme and encourage library managers who wish to up-skill their workforce into the 21st century.
