Victoria will be home to a new TAFE teacher academy dedicated to upskilling and attracting teachers to strengthen the state’s TAFE workforce – and with it tackling one of the biggest barriers to growing the skilled workforce our economy needs.
This new TAFE teacher academy is dedicated to attracting, training and supporting more TAFE teachers.
The Vocational Education and Training (VET) Educator Academy will be a one stop shop.
It will benefit more than 4,000 Victorian TAFE educators, school-based VET educators and future practitioners with professional learning, career development and pathways into the profession.
This initiative is part of a $10 million joint funding package between the Albanese and Allan Labor Governments to strengthen the VET workforce under the National Skills Agreement.
The Academy, led by Chisholm Institute from its Frankston campus, will boost Victoria’s TAFE network and lift the profile of VET teaching as a rewarding career that helps train Victorians for the jobs local communities need.
