Reimagining TasTAFE - A 10 year strategic plan
Our 10 Year Strategic Plan puts the learner at the centre, it recognises that if our learners succeed, everyone benefits.
In essence, the Plan has three main purposes:
- To create greater access to our training – geographically and socio-economically
- To improve outcomes for our learners
- To increase participation in our training.
TasTAFE is a not-for-profit government business that operates under the TasTAFE (Skills and Training Business) Act 2021.
It is the largest public provider of vocational education and training in Tasmania and is governed by a Board consisting of up to seven members appointed by the Minister for Skills and Training.
