Jeremy Rockliff,Minister for Education and Training
TasTAFE is in a stronger position than ever before, and since coming to Government we have paid off Labor’s debt, invested $41.8 million in new facilities and seen TAFE awarded 7 years accreditation.
Thanks to TAFE’s hard work, Tasmania has the highest apprentice and trainee completions rates in Australia, and TAFE students were awarded Australia’s Apprentice of the Year and Vocational Student of the Year late last year.
It is now time to take the next steps in TAFE’s evolution.
One of the strongest themes in PESRAC is the critical role of skills in building recovery in Tasmania and TasTAFE’s central role in this.
