AUSTAFE NATIONAL CONFERENCE

AUSTAFE, as the premier national network of Technical and Further Education (TAFE) professionals focusses on promoting partnerships with all vocational education and training (VET) stakeholders. AUSTAFE provides a forum for exchange of views in relation to VET and promotes professional development opportunities for its members.

The major professional development activity for AUSTAFE Chapters and Branches across Australia is the annual National Conference.

The National Conference is hosted on a rotational basis by State and Territory AUSTAFE Chapters or Branches and aims to bring together members, affiliates and interested parties to network and discuss the latest trends, activities, policies and reforms within the Australian Vocational sector.

The 2012 conference will bring together TAFE, private sector, university, school and government stakeholders involved in VET training from entry level programs through to post-graduate Degree programs.

Each Year a seperate "Conference Web Page" is produced.

The Link to the 2012 Conference Web Page will be added to this page in coming weeks.
