This is particularly evident in the food trades. This research examines the training curriculum used to train food trades apprentices. The investigation uses case studies and semi-structured interviews to examine the quality of training provided to bakery apprentices through both workplaces and off site at their training college. Using Fuller and Unwin’s expansive/restrictive continuum(2003) to analyse the data and determine quality aspects of training provision, the inquiry presents two key findings. Firstly, the research identifies the tension that exists between business productivity and workplace learning. Employers will often prioritise material interests over apprentice learning, constituting a broken promise and thoughts on leaving in the mind of the apprentice. Secondly, the research shows that a well-designed training curriculum will contribute to a sense of vocation and professional belonging in an apprentice,extending their commitment to their trade as a sense of vocational identity. The research contributes to understanding how employers, trainers and apprentices can work collaboratively to lift learner completion rates and build a sense of vocation and commitment to the hospitality industry.Bachelor of Hospitality ManagementHolmesglen InstituteCAUTHE 2024University of Tasmania at The Hedberg, Hobar
Exploring hospitableness: fostering student belonging through a regional study tour

Full text papers from past CAUTHE conferences are available on the Informit (RMIT publishing), available through all Australian and some international University library databases.Hospitableness, a fundamental aspect of hospitality, has garnered attention across variouscontexts. However, concerns persist that its true essence is fading in the face of commercialization. Emphasising the critical role of hospitableness through the lens of belonging, this paper suggests that a sense of belonging is integral to understanding and applying hospitableness. Hospitableness, defined as creating an environment where guests feel welcome, safe and respected, is closely linked to individuals feeling secure, valued and supported. This connection is particularly significant for non-traditional learners, such as international students in Holmesglen’s Bachelor of Hospitality Management (BHM) program, who frequently reporta low sense of belonging (Crawford et al., 2023).Given the limited academic exploration of the relationship between hospitableness and belonging, the proposed research will investigate whether a regional study tour (RST), with a focus on hospitableness, can enhance first-year BHM students' sense of belonging. It will provide exploratory research into the foundational role of belonging in comprehending and practicing hospitableness.Bachelor of Hospitality ManagementHolmesglen InstituteCAUTHE 2024University of Tasmania at The Hedberg, Hobar
Cyber-attack detection and isolation

Building Vocational Identity in VET learners
No full textOpen Access. Licensed under Creative Commons. Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)This research examines the Swiss and German vocational education and training (VET) systems. It identifies the values and purposes that shape their respective apprenticeship systems and provides recommendations for reforming the Australian VET curriculum. The investigation has a focus on the ability of the Swiss and German systems to develop a strong sense of vocational identity in their apprentice graduates. The report details how the concept of 'beruf' is used to frame the VET curriculum in both countries.
Understanding the concept of beruf requires a comprehensive understanding of self-knowledge and personal proclivity, the social world of the working environment, and the economic relationship between the chosen occupation and industry entry. This research study has focused on the first two individual and social elements and their relationship between beruf and building a vocational identity. A standout area identified in the research was the consensus among social partners and stakeholders which shapes the structural level of the Swiss and German VET systems. Both countries macro level VET curricula and the design of the apprenticeship system is created through stakeholder collaboration. The common goal is the function and maintenance of a high-quality VET training system. Other key features include the 'dual' nature of the system, the notion of 'vocation' rather than occupation, and the importance of pedagogy and authentic assessment.Bachelor of Hospitality ManagementHolmesglen Institut
The inadequacy of reinforcement learning from human feedback-radicalizing large language models via semantic vunerabilities.
No full textE-journal.This study is an empirical investigation into the semantic vulnerabilities of four popular pretrained commercial large language models (LLM's) to ideological manipulation. Using tactics reminiscent of human semantic conditioning in psychology, we have induced and assessed ideological misalignments and their retention in four commercial pretrained LLM's, in response to 30 controversial questions that spanned a broad ideological and social spectrum, encompassing both extreme left- and right-linguistic variations, making them susceptible to ideological manipulation through targeted semantic exploits. We observed reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) in effect to LLM initial answers, but highlighted the limitations of RLHF in two aspects: 1) its inability to mitigate the impact of ideological conditioning prompts, leading to partial alleviation of LLM semantic vulnerabilities; 2) its inadequacy in representing a diverse set of "human values", often reflecting the predefined values of certain groups controlling the LLM's. Our findings have provided empirical evidence of semantic vulnerabilities inherent in current LLM's, challenged both the robustness and the adequacy of RLHF as a mainstream method for aligning LLMs with human values, and underscored the need for a multidisciplinary approach in developing ethical and resilient artificial intelligence (AI).Computing and Information TechnologyHolmesglen Institut
From COBIT to ISO 420001: evaluating cybersecurity frameworks for opportunities, risks, and regulatory compliance in commercializing large language models.
No full textOpen access journal article.This study investigated the integration readiness of four predominant cybersecurity Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) frameworks – NIST CSF 2.0, COBIT 2019, ISO 27001:2022, and the latest ISO 42001:2023 – for the opportunities, risks, and regulatory compliance when adopting Large Language Models (LLMs), using qualitative content analysis and expert validation. Our analysis, with both LLMs and human experts in the loop, uncovered potential for LLM integration together with inadequacies in LLM risk oversight of those frameworks. Comparative gap analysis has highlighted that the new ISO 42001:2023, specifically designed for Artificial Intelligence (AI) management systems, provided most comprehensive facilitation for LLM opportunities, whereas COBIT 2019 aligned most closely with the European Union AI Act. Nonetheless, our findings suggested that all evaluated frameworks would benefit from enhancements to more effectively and more comprehensively address the multifaceted risks associated with LLMs, indicating a critical and time-sensitive need for their continuous evolution. We propose integrating human-expert-in-the-loop validation processes as crucial for enhancing cybersecurity frameworks to support secure and compliant LLM integration, and discuss implications for the continuous evolution of cybersecurity GRC frameworks to support the secure integration of LLMs.Computing and Information TechnologyHolmesglen Institut
