INITIATIVES AT TAFEWA

TAFEWA colleges are set to take training delivery to a new level, with a greater focus on meeting the needs of their local communities. Training Minister Peter Collier said as part of this, colleges would develop strategic and business plans, a requirement reflected in the new Training Legislation Amendment and Repeal Act 2008. "These plans will help improve the long-term focus and direction of each TAFEWA college, setting out individual college objectives, functions and targets and detail how these will be achieved," Mr Collier said. "Colleges will also be able to tailor their individual plans to directly meet the needs of their local community."
