Service Skills Australia wants to hear from workers in the funeral industry

Service Skills Australia is calling for workers in the funeral industry to participate in a survey and contribute to the future direction of accredited training in Australia.

In 2008, Service Skills Australia conducted an online survey in which 90% of respondents stated that their business provides on-the-job training. But do employers and workers have different views on what training really means? Service Skills is seeking to answer this question, and explore how workers benefit from training.

The survey will provide information to the service industries about the value and uptake of on-the-job training and the awareness of accredited qualifications and certificates.

Participants have the chance to go in the draw to win a $250 gift voucher.

To participate go to www.serviceskills.com.au/surveys

Hardcopies can also be requested by contacting Anne-Marie Yates ayates@serviceskills.com.au, just let me know how many and where to.

This survey is completely anonymous and should take no longer than 10 minutes to complete.

Closing date: 30 September 2009.

Who should participate?
All workers in the funeral industry including directors, embalmers, cemetery and crematorium.
