On Friday 18 August, TDA and its members met with the heads of the Jobs and Skills Councils (JSCs) in Melbourne as part of TDA’s CEO Forum, bringing together TAFE Institute heads from across the country. Nine of the ten newly formed Jobs and Skills Councils (JSCs) participated. The JSCs will play an important role in the latest evolution of the VET system through liaising with industry to improve training and assessment practices, and developing training products.
TDA is looking forward to continue to act as conduit for JSCs’ engagement with TAFEs and in securing national representation from TAFEs.
