Building on a robust foundation of vocational training, Australia's VET system, operational for over four decades, exemplifies educational excellence. HCI, with its seventeen-year tenure, expands this legacy internationally, offering innovative training models tailored for a globally-mobile workforce. These initiatives are instrumental in fortifying individual capabilities and catalysing economic growth, by nurturing a skilled labour force attuned to the demands of diverse industries.

The Global Skill Training Academy, also known as HCI Skilldemy, is a dynamic initiative by HCI aimed at elevating vocational education in healthcare. HCI Skilldemy specialises in offering internationally-focused training courses, developed by HCI's curriculum experts for offshore delivery.

The HCI Skilldemy is strategically designed to extend HCI's expertise in vocational training to the global stage, catering specifically to international students offshore. Our tailored courses, crafted by seasoned curriculum specialists, ensure a comprehensive learning experience that aligns with the needs of international markets and upholds the educational excellence synonymous with HCI.

The HCI Skilldemy aspires to be the bridge in global healthcare education, preparing individuals to meet the demands of the industry with an expansive skill set. Committed to 'Education for Employment,' our mission encapsulates the provision of comprehensive training programs tailored to foster work-ready graduates. We strive to equip our students with both the practical and theoretical knowledge required to excel in the healthcare sector, ensuring they remain at the forefront of innovation and service.

Skill sets offer a flexible approach to vocational education, allowing learners to accumulate partial qualifications that collectively lead to a full qualification. This method of 'stacking' units aligns with the concept of staking in cryptocurrency, where individual contributions lead to greater rewards over time. By engaging with individual units that contribute to a larger goal, learners can pace their education to fit their life circumstances, making each step manageable and significant towards achieving their ultimate vocational aspirations.

Online systems for HCI SKILLDEMY course delivery bring multiple benefits, enhancing the educational experience. They provide a structured environment for learning, with consistent quality in both content and assessment. This ensures that all students receive the same comprehensive information and are evaluated against the same standards, regardless of their location. Moreover, digital platforms facilitate interactive and flexible learning, allowing students to engage with the material at their own pace and in a manner that suits their individual learning styles.

The Skilldemy program focuses on the following key objectives to make international workforces stronger and more skilled:

• It aims to fill important skill gaps that workers across the world need, boosting the global economy.
• It plans to increase the availability of skilled workers internationally by ensuring they meet Australian vocational education standards, which will help them work in various industries and countries.
• It will address the worldwide demand for Australian educational courses and high-quality skill training delivered outside Australia.
• Access to the Australian education system's high standards, without the need for international students to travel.
• Opportunities for students to gain valuable English language skills.
• Flexibility to meet domestic standards and offer these courses globally.
• Support for global workforce development with skills relevant to healthcare industries.
• Expansion of Australia’s educational reach, providing quality training to students worldwide.
• Once complete multiple ‘Skilldemy’ qualifications, students have the choice to gain Australian qualifications through ‘gap training’ and ‘Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)’ processes if required.
