Mary Woodford Bill Swetman Governing Council Chair Managing Director Central Regional TAFE Central Regional TAFE 12 March 2018 12 March 2018 This is the second annual report for Central Regional TAFE, having been established in April 2016 as part of significant training sector reforms that resulted in the amalgamation of the Goldfields Institute of Technology, Durack Institute of Technology and CY O’Connor Institute of Technology. The College continues to establish its identity and strategic directions, while also ensuring the TAFE experience for students is of high quality and training courses provided are what the State and local industry require. Key achievements for 2017 was the development of a new Strategic Plan for 2018-2020, and a College Business Plan. To build on the work establishing the College in 2016, the 2018 Business Plan identifies ten key strategies: Using technology to increase access to training and to drive business systems efficiencies. Diversifying delivery models to improve the flexibility and quality of delivery and overcome the challenge of distance between campuses. Providing access and choice in training options for remote towns and communities. Developing and implementing an infrastructure plan that meets clients’ needs, reflects industry standards and makes efficient use of public assets. Ensuring effective engagement with stakeholders to respond to changing skill requirements. Growing a diversified revenue stream by maximising commercial training opportunities in line with state government priorities.
