Ready Skills

CIT uses an electronic tool called 'Ready Skills' to support the learning of apprentices and trainees.

My Profiling changed it's name to Ready Skills in May 2021 because of a brand update by the developer.

Ready Skills has two main functions:

  • Training Plan
    Ready Skills holds the apprentice/trainees training plan which outlines the units of competency that the apprentice/trainee will complete throughout their study.
  • Profiling
    Ready Skills is also used to gather evidence of apprentice and trainee activity in the workplace as a requirement of an apprenticeship or traineeship, just like the old Training Records Books.

Accessing Ready Skills

Login details are sent electronically from admin@mytrainingplan.com.au to the email address entered on the training contract. This occurs when CIT receives notification that the training contract has been approved.

Ready Skills can be accessed through the Ready Skills app (Apple or Android) or web browser (https://app.mytrainingplan.com.au).

User guides and support

Ready Skills Student and Employer Guides, YouTube videos to complete entries and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are available below.

User guides and training videos are also available when you log into Ready Skills via the web browser; these are located under the 'Help' tab.

CIT staff are available to provide further support to employers, apprentices and trainees. To request support, please email CITMyProfiling@cit.edu.au and a CIT representative will contact you to arrange the required support.

Apprentices and trainees using Ready Skills

Apprentices and trainees may be required to use Ready Skills to gather evidence of the activities completed in the workplace to support the requirements of their apprenticeship or traineeship.

Workplace activities are recorded daily and submitted to your supervisor for approval on a weekly basis.

Employer's using Ready Skills

Employer's will be required to use Ready Skills to:

  1. Verify apprentice/trainee Weekly on-the-job activity
  2. Support your apprentice/trainee's ability to undertake activities in the workplace, Ready Skills refers to this as 'employer support'.

Employers can monitor the progress of their apprentice or trainee against the units of competency required to achieve the qualification by viewing the apprentice's training plan on Ready Skills. Employers may also use Ready Skills for information on tasks/activities their apprentice or trainee may require further experience in to complete their units of competency.

To add additional supervisors, please email CITMyProfiling@cit.edu.au.

Profiling is used as supplementary evidence to the training and assessment conducted by CIT.
  • What happens if I don't have access to the internet?
    • The Ready Skills app does not require use of the internet to for you to log your weekly entries. The internet is only required when submitting your entries at the end of each week.

  • What do I do if my employer doesn't know how to use this system?
    • The Canberra Institute of Technology has designated officers that can provide support to students and employers to use Ready Skills. Please email CITMyProfiling@cit.edu.au to request support.
  • How many tasks do I have to enter?
    • There are no restrictions to how many tasks you can enter in Ready Skills. It is important that you enter at least one (1) task for each day, however to ensure accuracy in recording the activities you are undertaking in the workplace it will be beneficial for you to enter a task for each job undertaken throughout your work day (meaning you will enter multiple tasks for the same day).
  • Do I have to enter tasks every day?
    • It is recommended to enter at least one (1) task for each day of the week as this will ensure accuracy in recording the activities you are undertaking in the workplace. You can, however, enter more than one (1) task per day depending on the nature of the work you are completing.
    • For example: If you are working on multiple job sites throughout the day, it is recommended that you complete a task in Ready Skills for each job site to show the activities completed at each site, even if some of the activities are the same.
  • What happens if I don't have time to do this?
    • Profiling is used as supplementary evidence to your training and assessment at CIT and is a requirement of every Australian Apprenticeship. If your profiling is not completed, it may impact on the progression of your Australian Apprenticeship and completing your qualification.

  • What if I still can't find an activity after I have searched for it?
    • All of the activities in Ready Skills have been matched to the skills required as part of the subjects shown on your training plan. In most cases, if an activity does not appear, it is because the activity is not linked to the subjects you are studying at CIT.
    • It is recommended that you discuss these activities with your teacher during class as they will be able to advise if the activity is not part of your studies or they can direct you to the category where the activity may be located in Ready Skills.
