How has the pandemic impacted Australia's Technical and Further Education (TAFE) system? Cisco and Optus commissioned a report, which is now available: Changing the Design of TAFE for a New Normal (18 page PDF). Not surprisingly, the report argues that the pandemic "has created a permanent change in the way TAFE campuses are designed and operated." Also not surprisingly, given the source, we read that "industry partnerships will be more critical than ever." Interestingly, the report suggests a rise in 'blue tech skills' - "occupations and skills that are technology-intensive but require a sub-degree qualification." There's a lot more in the report (which reads like a series of infographics), including automated buildings, digital-first strategies, and new program areas.
