From the summary: "This report examines the approaches managers and leaders in 16 TAFE institutes have undertaken to sustain, develop and renew their workforce and build their organisation's knowledge. It finds that TAFE managers now recognise that maintaining and developing their organisation's skill base is imperative, but that finding approaches to sustain TAFE in the longer term requires more attention." Maybe they'll make their staff sign up for thirteen week courses. ;) Actually, the reality is worse: "One simple option was the recruitment of teachers with recent industry experience." Not surprisingly, the authors of the report concluded that "other options were seen to be needed." Right. Still, I think the exercise is useful and interesting - one wonders what the result will be for TAFE students as adminstrators and staff undertake the exercise of educating themselves.
