We provide members of the Centre of Excellence members with the opportunity to make an application for teachers and trainers to participate in international exchange visits, to gather insights from our multinational partners, that are part of the WorldSkills Global Network.
The visits enable educators to engage in action learning and active experimentation with new and innovative approaches to teaching, learning and assessment to raise standards, drive quality improvement, and develop further and higher technical teaching and training excellence.
Educators who are attend the International Exchange Visits share their learning widely through the Centre of Excellence.
The programme has opened up a whole new perspective of what ‘tools’ the learners/competitors will need to move from competence to excellence. Everything from reviewing standards and resetting them, to a back-to-basics approach by identifying core competencies.
We can literally see the difference it’s making. They are really spreading their enthusiasm across the college to all their colleagues across different subject areas which is great to see. What was started through the Centre of Excellence is now being embedded in day-to-day practice.
