Facilitation of validation workshops refers to the process of organizing and leading workshops that are used to validate and approve certain elements of education and training programs. The primary purpose of these workshops is to ensure that the programs being developed align with the needs of industry and meet the standards required for accreditation.
During these workshops, stakeholders from industry, education providers, and other relevant organizations come together to review, discuss and give feedback on the occupational profiles and standards, and curriculum of the programs being proposed. The facilitator will guide the discussions and process, ensuring that all stakeholders are heard and that their feedback is taken into account.
