  • TAFE Back to Work – Case Studies Linking Job Seekers, Work Ready Skills and Employers
    TAFE Back to Work – Case Studies Linking job seekers, work ready skills and employers Back to Work programs delivered by public VET providers These case studies demonstrate how Victoria’s TAFE Institutes and dual sector universities deploy their expertise to respond to students’ aspirations, industry skill needs, community expectations and government policy goals. The five case studies describe relevant, localised responses to the aims of the Victorian Government’s TAFE Back to Work Fund (BTW). Aims of the TAFE Back to Work Fund BTW combines social and economic objectives. The Fund has invested in innovative approaches to vocational skills development so that work ready job seekers are well matched to job opportunities. With particular attention to equity outcomes for disadvantaged job seekers, BTW recognises that the personal benefits of vocational training are best realised by developing skills that make direct contributions to improved productivity in contemporary workplaces. 2 | Victorian TAFE Association Contents Box Hill Institute 5 Holmesglen and Chisholm Institute 8 Federation Training 12 Victoria Polytechnic 16 Wodonga TAFE 20 BTW has invested in public VET providers’ training infrastructure. Extracting value from existing resources supports high quality vocational learning for BTW participants and releases value for students enrolled in other qualifications. Maximising training outcomes through partnerships The case studies share much in common. There is consistent reliance on the business and social agency partnerships nurtured over many decades by Victoria’s public VET providers. Box Hill Institute’s BTW program has drawn on extensive IT industry networks to shape a new qualification in cyber security. Holmesglen and Chisholm Institute have drawn on relationships with schools, the Brotherhood of St Laurence and other agencies to research, implement and evaluate their joint BTW program – Career Pilot.
