Case Studies

The VTA regularly produces case study publications that showcase the extensive leadership and contribution of Victoria’s TAFE Network.

These publications demonstrate how the TAFE Network’s extensive expertise and partnerships have been deployed to find solutions to diverse problems in diverse settings, and the deep and rich role that the TAFE Network plays to help students fulfil their aspirations and industry meet their skill needs.

Applied Research in TAFE

TAFE providers have extensive expertise, developed over many decades, in developing and delivering training programs that match the skill and knowledge needs of business, health and community services agencies and a myriad of other organisations. TAFE has invested energy and capability in instructional design, delivery practice and assessment models for effective training, be it on campus, online or in the workplace.

TAFE working with industry

TAFE is defined by its symbiotic relationship with industry and community. These case studies showcase examples of TAFEs engaging successfully with industry. Each case study addresses a different dimension of the ways in which TAFEs engage with government policy and initiatives and with industry partners to deliver real employment outcomes for their community.

Workforce in transition

An inclusive, productive economy relies on constantly renewing the skills of the workforce. This requires a relentless focus on access to locally relevant training, innovative skills acquisition opportunities, and high quality vocational education closely attuned to current and emerging industry expectations. These case studies show the TAFE Network's focus on access, innovation, quality and industry alignment.

TAFE Back to Work (BTW) Fund

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 case studies describe relevant, localised responses to the aims of the Victorian Government’s BTW Fund.

Workforce Training Innovation Fund Projects

Innovation challenges existing practices in skills development, training methods and product design. These case studies show where Victorian TAFE Institutes have focused on designing and delivering improved training opportunities for priority industry sectors.
