IHNA acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the country throughout Australia and recognises continuing connection to land, waters, and culture. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
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.
