25.01.2022 Sometimes in our lives we remember days of significance. Although we are miles away (and a day ahead) Saturday 7 November will be remembered by many as the day Biden succeeded in his quest to be President of the US. With the spirit of perseverance he has reached this point on the third attempt and in the face of family tragedy. Perseverance resonates with our First Nations people who have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years. This week is NAIDOC week under the banner of Always Was, Always Will Be.

17.01.2022 It’s Grand Final week for the national football codes. While the CEO of TDA could be accused of a bias to AFL over NRL he talks about the lessons from the transformation of the Richmond Tigers over the last four years and lessons it may have for VET in Australia and our own leadership. TDAs newsletter also shares findings from the latest report from National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER)’s Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth which shows the change in shares in enrolments between higher education and vocational education in Australia. https://tda.edu.au//lets-be-in-this-together-comment-by-c/ #POWEROFTAFE #TAFE4AUSTRALIA #VET #vocationaleducation #vocationaltraining #highereducation

07.01.2022 International students wanting to take up work opportunities often need formal training of some form which falls outside of the primary course they are enrolled in and it risks contravening existing obligations under the Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (ESOS Act). The Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment (DESE) is proposing amendments so students can take up these supplementary courses by changing the current regulation. It so...unds sensible, however, could there be flow-on implications for providers and students? TDA supports the intent of the proposed amendments but also highlights some potential unintended risks. https://tda.edu.au/proposed-amendments-to-the-esos-act-wha/ #POWEROFTAFE #TAFE4AUSTRALIA #submission #internationalstudents

06.01.2022 We always seem to be racing from one thing to the other. This week of all weeks reminds us of the big races the Melbourne Cup that stops a nation and the race for the White House which has the world holding a collective breath on its outcome. But there’s a race here in Australia which doesn’t receive much attention. It’s really about those who are left behind in the race of life in our aspirations for them in our schooling here in Australia and their capabilities as young... adults to live fulfilling lives. Read about it in this week’s TDAs newsletter. You will be surprised about Australia’s poor OECD ranking on investment in VET. https://tda.edu.au//the-race-of-life-is-pertinent-this-we/ #POWEROFTAFE #TAFE4AUSTRALIA #vocationaleducation #vocationaltraining #oecd
