Replay: VETtalks Ep 2 — From Risk to Readiness under the 2025 RTO Standards Our Principal Consultant Khushboo Gupta joined eSkilled CEO Scott Rogers to unpack what the 2025 Standards for RTOs mean in practice now that they’re in effect—and how leaders can move from policy documents to day-to-day behaviours that stand up on audit day. We talk about spotting and mitigating risks early, designing systems that produce audit-ready evidence (not just store it), and strengthening the four pillars that matter most: Training & Assessment, Learner Support, VET Workforce, and Governance. The focus is simple: build clarity, reduce scramble, and lift quality across the whole student lifecycle. ▶️ Watch the full replay: https://lnkd.in/gMRqN7N9 Blog: https://lnkd.in/g4q6MmF5 Thank you Scott Rogers and the eSkilled team for a practical, sector-building conversation.

New Episode: 9B, but practical. In this SKG Industry Series episode our Principal Consultant Khushboo Gupta sits down with Nicole from Training SpaceFinder to turn 9B from a building code label into day-to-day operational clarity. We walk through how to read an Occupancy Permit with confidence, how those conditions translate to the timetable you actually run, and why room capacities, egress and accessibility aren’t just paperwork—they’re the guardrails that keep delivery safe, auditable, and stress-free when questions are asked during the performance activity. We also get specific queries about the documents you should expect before keys change hands, the floorplans and certificates that remove guesswork, and the simple mapping that links spaces to your TAS so your equipment lists, practical areas and supervision ratios line up without last-minute fixes. If you’re weighing up a new site, converting an existing one, or trying to clean up a casual-hire arrangement, this conversation will help you brief landlords and brokers properly, avoid capacity creep, and set clear lines of responsibility so facilities support training—not the other way around. It’s the practical 9B chat I wish every RTO had before signing a lease. 🎧 Tune in: https://lnkd.in/grNAcHt3 @Nicole Turner and Training SpaceFinder—thank you for cutting through the noise and keeping it workable for real RTOs.
