TasTAFE has strategic relationships with a range of stakeholders, including industry and employers. It liaises with these groups to identify current and future skills needs, allowing the TAFE to ensure delivery of appropriate courses. Examples of industries that are benefitting from this relationship include tour guiding, wool classing and agri-business.
TasTAFE offers an individual support programme, Boost, to students studying at Certificate III level or higher with disability or mental health issues. The Skills for Life Student Support Program is addressing completion rates through its support of Australian Apprentices.
