Networks
Within any industry, the importance of communicative interactions is critical to growth and vitality. There are a plethora of networks and professional relationships operating across TAFE building the capability and raising the profile of the public TAFE sector. It is for these reasons that the Assocation has developed a network strategy which includes the development of a registry of existing networks operating with a unity of purpose in a collegiate environment. These are a valuable resource for fostering ideas, innovation, solutions and initiatives.
